Free Style Strips

I too have Blue Cross of California and use the Cosmo monitor. Blue Cross only pays for Accu Chek strips normally but when my doctor wrote the prescription for the Free Style, the pharmacist simply coded the insurance that the Free Style was medically necessary for the insulin pump. Blue Cross pays 100% for 300 strips monthly for no co-pay. The medical necessity code is the key to having most insurance companies pay for the Free Style.
