A member asked:
Why are there so many blood glucose test kits advertised for medicare patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Choice : It is about choice and competition in business. Many manufacturers of medical drugs/products contract with insurance companies to get on formulary by way of competing against each other by giving the insurance companies the better deal. Glucometers may have small differences between them making brands slightly different from each other. For some those small details might be important in choosing.
