Overview: Virtually all diabetic persons covered by Medicare or private health insurance have coverage for hospital care and physician/surgeon bills. Coverage for prescription medicines occurs for 62.9% of adults with diabetes. About 41% of persons with diabetes are covered by more than one health insurance mechanism, but 13.5% of those age 18-64 years and 1.2% of those age ³65 years do not have any form of health care coverage. There are only small differences between people with diabetes and those without diabetes in the proportion covered and the types of health care coverage. The costs of private health insurance are also similar for people with and without diabetes.
