| My insurance has denied paying any of my pump supplies since I got the pump. They paid for the pump but not the supplies which I thought odd. So since I just FOUND this sticky I thought I'd look up Alaska state laws which reads as follows
Sec. 21.42.390. Coverage for treatment of diabetes.
(a) A health care insurer that offers in this state a health care insurance plan that includes coverage for pharmacy services shall initially and at each renewal provide coverage for the cost of treating diabetes, including medication, equipment, and supplies. All health care insurance plans must include coverage for outpatient self-management training or education, and medical nutrition therapy, if diabetes treatment is prescribed by a health care provider. The coverage required by this section is subject to standard policy provisions applicable to other benefits, including deductible or copayment provisions. Coverage for the cost of diabetes outpatient self-management training or education and for the cost of medical nutrition therapy is only required if provided by a health care provider with training in the treatment of diabetes.
