Blood Sugar Blues? Don't Worry, Florida Blue Has Your Back (and Your Meter!)
Ah, diabetes. The gift that keeps on pricking... your finger, that is. But hey, at least you're not stuck in the dark ages relying on carrier pigeons to deliver your blood sugar readings! Thanks to modern medicine (and minuscule needles), we have nifty little gadgets called blood glucose meters.
But with all the different brands and models out there, it can feel like deciphering a secret code when figuring out which one your insurance covers. Fear not, fellow Florida Blue member! We're here to shed some light (and hopefully some sugar cravings) on this topic.

Cracking the Florida Blue Code: Meter Mania!
Florida Blue, in their infinite wisdom, offers coverage for a few different blood sugar meter brands. But here's the thing: they have their preferred picks, just like your grandma has a favorite brand of dish soap.
These preferred meters typically mean lower co-pays or even getting them for free (who doesn't love free stuff?). Currently, the OneTouch® brand is Florida Blue's bestie. So, if you're looking for a new meter or want to switch to a plan-covered option, OneTouch® is the way to go.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
But wait! What if you're already rocking another meter that you swear by? Don't despair, friend! Florida Blue might still cover the supplies for your current meter, but you might need to jump through a hoop or two (figuratively speaking, of course). This usually involves getting prior authorization from them, which basically means you need to convince them why your current meter is the bee's knees.
Here's the short and sweet of it:
- Florida Blue prefers OneTouch® meters. Get one for free or with a low co-pay!
- Got a different meter you love? They might still cover the supplies, but you might need prior authorization.
Still confused? Don't worry, we've got you covered (pun intended). Check out your Florida Blue member portal or give them a call. They'll be happy to help you navigate the magical world of blood sugar meter coverage.
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
