We recently affiliated with Hock's because our own experience with them has been so positive. If you do place an order through our site, they will contribute financially towards our cause and you will get reasonable prices for diabetes supplies. Nevada has mandated coverage for diabetes care. §689A.0427 (individual); §689B.0357 (group); §695C.1727 (HMOs) - 1997 law. Covers training and education for self-management, with same copayments and deductibles as other benefits. Summary of Provisions
Nevada Division of Insurance - (888) 872-3234 (toll-free), (775) 687-4270 (Carson City) or (702) 486-4007 (Las Vegas) . In Nevada, state law allows health insurance companies to turn people down for individual health insurance coverage based on the status of their health. In most cases, diabetes is considered an “uninsurable” condition. Even though you can be turned down for an individual policy in Nevada, you can never be turned down for health insurance that is offered through an employer. | ||||||||
