MSURA EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
     Important Information Regarding Cost of Diabetic Supplies:  If you are purchasing diabetic testing supplies such as lancets and test strips, it is important to understand that there can be a significant difference in cost depending on whether the pharmacy from which you purchase them will bill only CVS Caremark or will bill Medicare Part B.  Retirees’ experiences have demonstrated a significantly higher out-of pocket cost for diabetic supplies at pharmacies that bill only CVS Caremark and do not bill Medicare Part B, even though Medicare Part B may require associated co-pays.  If you have Medicare Part B and require diabetic testing supplies, it is recommended that you check the prices and the billing policies and seek a pharmacy that bills Medicare Part B.  Currently, the MSU Clinical Center Pharmacy bills only CVS Caremark and not Medicare Part B.  This billing policy is currently under review and if there are changes we will let you know.
