New York State Law Mandating Insurance Coverage for Diabetes Goods and Services
The diabetes insurance law—which became effective in January 2004—states that medically necessary diabetes self-management education and education relating to diet will be covered by the insurer when it is provided by specified personnel.
The law also requires insurance coverage for various diabetes equipment and related supplies. While the diabetes insurance law applies to most private insurance providers, it does not apply fully to Medicaid or Medicare, leaving thousands of people with diabetes without access to vital diabetes education and supplies.
