Frequently asked questions:
Is my pharmacy eligible for No Charge meters?
Upon acceptance in the Medicare/Medicaid Program, your pharmacy is eligible for No Charge meters. These meters are made available through your selected wholesaler as listed in your RCBA agreement by ordering the Medicare Pre-Pack. No charge meters are for eligible customers only, as described in the terms of your RCBA agreement. Ascensia reserves the right to limit quantities, and may change or cancel this program at any time and without notice.
How will I know if my application is accepted?
You will be notified by Ascensia of the acceptance of your application as well as the status of Ascensia notification to the specified Authorized Ascensia Drug Wholesaler listed on your RCBA agreement.
Who can I sell this product to?
Test strips can only be sold to patients with diabetes whose diabetes management supplies are covered as a medical benefit by Medicare Part B and/or State Medicaid (except in those states where Medicaid covers Ascensia Products as a pharmacy benefit) and/or Managed Medicaid and shall exclude those patients covered by a Medicare Advantage plan or by a managed care plan under which Ascensia Products are considered a pharmacy benefit. Please refer to your RCBA agreement, “Terms and Conditions” for additional details and exclusions regarding eligibility.
What happens if I change my wholesalers?
If you change wholesalers please fill out the online form again with the new wholesaler, and we will notify your wholesalers of the change. You are only authorized to purchase test strips from the wholesaler listed on your RCBA. Any purchases from wholesalers who are not listed on your RCBA are a violation of this program and may be a breach of your RCBA agreement.
