Send the letter along with the brochure to your insurance company and some companies have agreed to cover the Lasette. The insurance company can contact Cell Robotics directly if they need more information. At this time Medicare is not paying for the Lasette Plus. The Lasette Plus replaces the lancet to make a hole in the finger but does not check the glucose level. You would use your glucose meter as normal.
Most people report little or no pain when making the hole.
There are 16 different power adjustments so you can make it painless for you. The Lasette also reduces the residual soreness associated with the use of lancets. The reduction in pain and residual soreness is due to the use of laser light which reduces tissue trauma. Some physicians have reported to us that they feel the hole heals faster. The FDA has cleared the Lasette Plus for use on children 5 years and older.
