Abstract:
This Office of Inspector General (OIG) report lists the Medicare market shares for diabetes test strips (DTS) provided through the non-mail order market (i.e., picked up in person at a local pharmacy or supplier storefront) from April through June 2018. A January 2019 OIG report (OEI-04-18-00440) lists the Medicare market shares for DTS provided via mail order for the same timeframe. These evaluations will inform future round(s) of the Competitive Bidding Program for DTS. All Competitive Bidding Program contracts expired on December 31, 2018, and new contracts are not expected before the end of 2020.
