    Medicare is concerned about diabetes type II and includes coverage for many diabetes testing equipment and supplies. 

    Your doctor must prescribe your diabetic supplies. Some of the Medicare Part B covered items include testing strips, glucose meters, lancets and insulin but ONLY IF it is used in a pump.

    Levemir flexpen's are part of Medicare Part D. If your drug plan includes the flexpen under the formulary some of the cost may be reimbursed.

    Levemir Flexpen is covered under the Medcare part D drug benefit. If you have a stand alone Rx or a MAPD it would be covered as long as it is in the formulary of the plan. There are a number of carriers that do include it in the formulary although it will always be a tier 3 or higher and is going to push someone toward the coverage gap much quicker.
