Pharmacy Benefit
$0 diabetic supplies for Colorado Option plans.
Colorado Access Choice Colorado Option plans cover select diabetic supplies at no cost to you — meters, test strips, continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, lancets, and pen needles.
No cost share
Covered supplies on this list cost you $0 — no copay, no coinsurance, and no need to meet a deductible first.
Filled at the pharmacy
These supplies are covered under your pharmacy benefit. Take your prescription to any in-network pharmacy.
A few need approval
Items marked with an asterisk need prior authorization to confirm a diabetes diagnosis. Your provider submits that request.
Prior authorization
What if my diabetic supply requires prior authorization?
If your plan requires prior authorization for a diabetic supply, your healthcare provider (doctor, nurse practitioner, etc.) will give us information about your diagnosis, treatment history, and other relevant information to request prior authorization. If the request is approved, you will pay a $0 cost share, not subject to a deductible.
