Insulin Pump

[trailblazer]

I just recently started using an insulin pump verses the needle. Since I am service connected for DMll will the va pay for the supplies? I have insurance which will pay 90% of the cost for the supplies but that still takes quit a bit of money out of my pocket.

The VA "should". However, you will need to get a VA doctor to go along with the deal, and your private physician to originate the necessary prescriptions, etc. for you to take to the VA doctor.

I hope that there is a VA clinic or VAMC that is reasonably easy for you to get to.

Thanks Chuck, I can handle the paper work with my personal PCP but the va may be another hill to climb.
