Yes! The FreeStyle Libre 2 system is covered for patients 2 years of age or older with diabetes mellitus AND who require multiple daily injections of insulin or insulin pump therapy as part of intensive insulin therapy.
The FreeStyle Libre 2 system is covered under multiple programs:
- Nova Scotia Pharmacare programs such as the Seniors’ Pharmacare Program, Family Pharmacare Program, and Department of Community Services Pharmacare Benefits Program.
- A new sensor-based glucose monitoring (SBGM) program - an income-based program with an annual maximum deductible (the deductible is the amount you need to pay before the program begins coverage). The SBGM program is the payer of last resort, which means that your private insurance would be the first to pay a claim.
NOTE: You can only have coverage under 1 program. Compare the programs to determine which one best suits your personal and financial needs.
