27. Medicare?

If so, it goes through Part B (not pharmacy), and it does require pre authorization - but it's not a big deal. Essentially as long as you're on insulin and have seen a doctor in the last 6 months you're fine.

In our case, it was the doctor who screwed up (his administration is falling apart at the seams), and the pharmacy (which tried to run it through the prescription coverage). It took a month to straighten out - and a second free monitor from the doctors office to keep us going until they uncrossed their wires.
