| 2554 | Anonymous | My health plan Tufts Navigator of Massachusetts is preferencial in their care of my diabetes. They, as non diabetics feel they have the right to tell me which monitor works best for me. I have found one that works better but, have to pay more to use it as my insurance is not contracted with the company with what I feel is the better monitor. I also did not see them listed as approving the CGM and AS A DIABETIC OF 50 YEARS i do not feel my blood glucose drop till it has reached dangerous levels. I could use the new technology to help me with my care. | NH | Tufts Navigator of Massachusetts |
| 2555 | HOPE EWING | Insurance providers should cover all diseases, but most of them are out to make money and will not cover something as epidemic as diabetes or cancer. you are lucky if they cover the common cold . they are a scam at this point.Ask Michael Moore. | OK | None I do not bother with health ins. because i have used alternative medicine for years and they do not provide assistance for a real healer. |
