Quick Q & A’s
Q:Is diabetes education / self-management training covered / reimbursed by your health plan?
A: More and more health plans are seeing that covering the cost of diabetes education and/or nutrition counseling (known as medical nutrition therapy) is beneficial. Medicare does cover both under Part B (outpatient services) and many other health plans do as well. The best advice is to call the 800 number on the back of your health plan card to determine what they pay for. Put up a fuss if they say they don't!!
