Can anyone explain how being diabled and having a pump how does this work and coverage?

Any info is GREATLY appreciated!

I'm not sure what info you want. Do you want to know if a disabled person can physically use a pump? Or if a disabled person is eligible for a pump under Medicare? I know Medicare/Medicaid do cover pumps for Type 1 diabetics. They require a c-peptide test and probably make you jump through a lot more hoops than regular insurance companies do.

Yes, They do I agree. I called Minimed and they said that Medicare tends to get faster responses as far as the million papers that are required
