Important notice for anyone who has or knows someone who has DIABETES

Congress has changed the way Medicare pays for certain Diabetic Supplies.  Only certain Medicare contracted suppliers will be able to provide Medicare covered mail order Diabetic Supplies in the areas listed below as of July 1, 2008.

These changes being implemented by Medicare could drastically affect how you obtain your Diabetic Supplies.
As of July 1, 2008 all Medicare beneficiaries with a permanent residence in one of Medicare’s Competitive Bidding Areas will only be able to get their Medicare covered mail order Diabetic Supplies from a contracted provider, such as Discount Diabetic. There are limited contracted providers, and your current provider might not be one.  Call 1-800-919-4595 to find out if you have been affected.

Medicare offered contracts only to a select group of mail order Diabetic Supply providers that offered the lowest prices; met Medicare’s eligibility, quality and financial standards; and are accredited by an independent organization. Discount Diabetic meets all these standards and has been awarded a contract for all affected Competitive Bidding Areas. Beginning July 1, 2008, in the areas listed below, Discount Diabetic may save you and Medicare about 43% from what is paid today for your mail order diabetic supplies.

Don’t get caught without the supplies you need. After July 1, your current provider may no longer be eligible to meet your mail order Diabetic Supply needs. Call 1-800-919-4595 now to switch to Discount Diabetic.
Discount Diabetic will help you avoid delays in getting your records transferred to a Medicare contracted mail order supplier. Plus, enjoy free delivery, quality products and customer service.

Areas affected by the changes to how Medicare pays for certain diabetic supplies:
•   Charlotte-Gastonia-Concord-NC-SC
•   Cincinnati-Middletown-OH-KY
•   Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor-OH
•   Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington-TX
•   Kansas City-MO-KS

•   Orlando-Kissimmee-FL
•   Pittsburg-PA
•   Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario-CA
•   San Juan-Caguas-Guaynabo-PR
If you live in one of the above areas you may be affected by this change. Call 1-800-919-4595 or visit www.discountdiabetic.com  now to find out if you are affected.
