To them, it all boils down to money... What a shame! If they thought it out, they would realize that they could be saving money in the long run by approving coverage for these devices and possibly preventing complications. I suppose it won't happen until the FDA approves them to replace fingersticks while "only" needing the fingersticks for calibration purposes.
I am going through with the process and will attempt to get reimbursed, so I will report the insurance nightmare I'm sure awaits me. I'm pretty convinced that I will lose the battle at this time, but it doesn't hurt to try.
