I have a Carelink from Medtronc and I paid zero for the unit. Hoping that this will apply to you as well.

Medicare and my supplemental policy paid for mine...I had it for a month. Don;t recall what it cost but I remember being a bit "stunned" when the Medicare summary came in..but I never paid a penny ... thankfully.

Hi,
I just got my medtronic carelink monitor and was told by the medtronic rep that it is free as the cost is included in the price of the device.

paid nothing too

Be sure you get a Medicare participating

provider & then if you have met your deductible you should not have to pay anything. Check with the provider & they should be able to tell you if they participating & if they will be billing MC & if you will be expected to pay anything else. Just be prepared if you have not paid your deductible you will have to pay that. I believe it remains at $150 this year. You can go on the internet & go to Medicare.gov & check out some of this info. Or call the 800 # on your Medicare card & ask them. Hope this helps.
