BCBS of MA did cover...........
I rec'd 100% re-imbursement on my Protime machine and my first box of test strips. I just recently billed BCBS for a box of 25 strips and the girl at BCBS seemed surprised--she thought I had ordered one years worth of supplies with my machine. I told her that wasn't recommended as there is an expiration date on the supplies. I haven't heard back from her. When they decided to approve my unit they told me they would only pay for one year's worth of supplies. I am going to try to get them to reverse that decision. My plan pays 100% of lab work. I will need to find out what the hospital charges for an INR and try to negotiate on that theory. If they currently pay lets say $50.00, why wouldn't they want me to do it at $10.00? Right now I am testing daily, so I am saving BCBS a ton of $$. Hey, it can't hurt to try. Good luck in getting coverage for your unit...........Gisele
