1. Subject line: e-M.D./alert Medicare Part B update for diabetes supplies
Dear Physician,
There’s a lot of talk about Medicare Part B no longer covering
ACCU-CHEK products at the same low co-pay as other brands.
But rest assured, ACCU-CHEK products are still covered
and available with $0 out-of-pocket costs, which means maximum
savings for your patients.1
Preserve your choice and prevent
switching to low-quality brands
To ensure your patients have continued access to high-quality
ACCU-CHEK products, always write a branded prescription for
ACCU-CHEK test strips. Clearly indicate “Dispense as written.
Brand medically necessary”2
on your prescription.
We’re here for your Medicare Part B patients
If your patients need assistance filling their ACCU-CHEK test strip
prescription or need more information, direct them to call
1-800-858-8072 or visit accu-chek.com.
