Accu-Chek® Guide blood glucose testing supplies were added to coverage for our Medicare, commercial group and individual members effective Sept. 1, 2025, due to the following coverage changes coming for OneTouch® products:
- For Medicare members: Beginning October 6, OneTouch products will no longer be covered for our Medicare members who use a retail or mail-order pharmacy. Preferred alternatives to OneTouch include Contour® and Accu-Chek Guide blood glucose testing supplies. Medicare members who obtain OneTouch products through a Durable Medical Equipment (DME) supplier will remain covered.
- For commercial group and individual members: Beginning October 1, OneTouch products won’t be covered for commercial group and individual members who are new to the product. Those already using OneTouch products will remain covered through Dec. 31, 2025.
Impacted members will receive letters notifying them of the change.
