I ask if I can pay out of pocket and be reimbursed. No go. They tell me they'll reimburse me in January if and when the codes come out, maybe. So I figure the pump add on is the cheapest way to go if I can get the pump covered, and I'll submit for reimbursement when the codes are out.

This is basically what's happening with me. My ins. wants to cover the CGMS, but needs billing codes to do so. I keep hearing they (the codes) won't be available till 2008. This is disheartening, but I'm going to go through with the purchase of one out of pocket & then submit for reimbursement. Sad all the da** hoops folks have to jump through to get something that could aid in the prevention of complications, or that could even potentially save a life.
