Glucose Monitors Used By Diabetics Now Covered By Insurance In Illinois
Governor JB Pritzker signed the bill Wednesday morning at Lurie Children's Hospital.
CHICAGO, IL — A new Illinois law now requires insurance companies to cover continuous glucose monitors for people with diabetes.
"These devices are vital. But for too long, diabetics have had to make the impossible choice between obtaining this necessary medical equipment or putting food on the table. In Illinois we won't accept that any longer," said Governor JB Pritzker.
