Hello! If you have Medicare part B your strips are covered at 80%, as long as your deductible has been met (for the year). If you have a secondary to Medicare, it will sometimes cover what Medicare doesn't. If your secondary is Medicaid more than likely you will not have a copay as long as you do not have a spend down. Hope this helps
