   Yes, Medicare does cover insulin pump supplies under Medicare Part B. If the Medicare patient uses syringes or pen for diabetes, rather than a pump, those supplies are not covered by Part B but are covered by Part D. The diabetic person using the insulin pump must have type 1 diabetes, or hard to control type 2 or gestational diabetes.
