Diabetic Supplies

Updates to Diabetic Supply Coverage Effective 10/28/23 

Louisiana Healthcare Connections now covers diabetic supplies, including glucometers, test strips, and insulin pumps, for members through the pharmacy benefit. To ensure your patient has access to their diabetic supplies, please be sure to send a prescription to your patient’s preferred pharmacy for any preferred diabetic supply products.

Preferred products and prior authorization criteria for continuous glucose monitors will be posted on the Single Preferred Drug List (PDL). Louisiana Healthcare Connections will no longer have our own diabetic supply preferred lists. Prescriptions for diabetic supplies listed as non-preferred are available through the prior authorization process, which can be initiated online through CoverMyMeds Prior Authorization Form or by utilizing the Louisiana Uniform Medicaid Prescription Drug Prior Authorization Form (PDF).

Diabetic test strips and lancets will continue to be subject to the current quantity limits.

The following diabetic supplies are some of the supplies covered for Louisiana Healthcare Connections members. For a full list please review LDH's Diabetic Supply List.
