Are test strips covered by insurance in Canada?

Insurance coverage will vary for each person, depending on who their insurance provider is, as well as the specifics of their individual benefits plan.

This will range from province to province, as well. While you may be able to explore blood glucose test strip and lancet eligibility in Ontario’s Drug Program, BC’s Pharmacare Program does not provide any coverage for lancets specifically.

Generally, many benefits packages will include coverage for 200 blood glucose test strips and lancets in Canada, per year.

Your best bet would be to reach out to your insurance representative directly, prior to making your request with Felix. This way, you can provide any applicable insurance information to your assigned practitioner during your assessment.

Plus, if you do have private insurance coverage for your blood glucose test strips, monitor, and lancets in Canada, Felix can bill your insurer directly to save you both the time and the trouble.
