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.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO......these jerks owe me some money. I've written the state insurance division and I'm contacting my lawyer the first of next week to get him on this. Chaps my butt........lol
Tony........I owe you a HUGE thank you for showing me the light |
I hope it works out, it is stupid to cover one thing and then not cover something else. If they covered the pump then they need to cover the supplies, it is that simple.
