		<description><![CDATA[Blood pressure monitors for home use are not generally covered by Medicare as it&#039;s not a listed durable medical equipment item.  A couple of exceptions are sometimes considered to for it to be covered, such as:

1) If you&#039;re receiving blood dialysis in your home and a blood pressure monitor is needed.
2) An ambulatory blood pressure monitor that records blood pressure readings for a 24-hour cycle for persons with &quot;white coat hypertension&quot;

If an exception is granted and the device is covered, Medicare Part B pays for the rental of the monitor if rented from a Medicare-certified supplier of medical equipment.  Medicare Part B&#039;s portion would be approximately 80% of the expense - you would be responsible for the remaining 20%.  If you have a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan, then the plan would cover the other 20%.

If you would like to look into purchasing a Medicare Supplement plan or see if you can lower the rate of an existing one, please don&#039;t hesitate to contact me for help with your coverage.

I hope the information is helpful - thanks very much.]]></description>
