United Health Care (UHC)

Plan is the POS (but next year changing to high deductible plan with pre-tax Health Savings Account (HSA) to cover $4500 deductible then 100% covered.)

Group# is 226310: Delta Airlines Employee - Self-Insured Employer

MM looked into my insurance (UHC) and quickly came back that it is covered after my deductible at 80%.

UHC didn't seem to have any trouble saying it was covered. This includes the pump upgrade and all the sensors.

The problem I have is that MM says the pump upgrade is about $5000 minus $500 trade-in allowance. Then the CGMS is $1000 - which includes 30days of sensors. Since I have $200 to meet on my deductible the out of pocket cost is about $800.

All of my Pump supplies/diabetic supplies are covered 100% if I get them in a 3 month kit...that does not yet include the CGMS sensors and no longer includes insulin."
