Wow, I was expecting a yes or no answer. That's confusing.

Sorry about that. The answer is "sort of."
I am responsible for $299 upfront because my pump is less than 3 years old. Everything else for the CGMS I pay 10% after the $500 deductible is met...but only up to a maximum of $2500 under the DME plan.
Was that easy enough? Me either.:p
