Do I have to file a claim for reimbursement?

No. Effective dates of services on or after April 1, 2002, suppliers such as Aapex Pharmacy must file claims for glucose supplies and test strips on behalf of the beneficiary. Medicare will no longer accept claims filed by the beneficiary. Aapex Pharmacy accepts assignment from you to bill Medicare and secondary private insurance directly on your behalf. However, you will receive your diabetes supplies immediately upon verification of your eligibility.
