Diabetes Testing Supplies Benefit
Peoples Health plans include a diabetes supplies benefit, which covers Medicare-covered diabetes testing supplies to check blood sugar.
Members can have supplies delivered to their home by one of the durable medical equipment providers in our provider network, or buy certain approved brands of diabetes testing supplies from a network retail pharmacy.
