Quiver AI Summary

Lawmakers express concern over CMS proposal: Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Susan Collins, along with Representatives Diana DeGette and Gus Bilirakis, have warned the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) against a proposed rule that could restrict access to continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps for diabetic patients. They argue it may limit suppliers and increase barriers for patients.

Impact on patient care: The lawmakers emphasized that devices like CGMs and insulin pumps are essential for managing diabetes, potentially reducing hospitalizations and improving quality of life. They highlighted the risk of a “one size fits all” model, which may not cater to the unique needs of individual patients.

Their letter underscores the importance of effective tools in combating a prevalent and costly chronic disease.
