Diabetes and Health Insurance in Illinois, Diabetes Lib...

Illinois has mandated coverage for diabetes care. Diabetes can be considered an uninsurable condition by some companies when an individual applies for coverage. If your employer offers health insurance, there is law that prevents a diabetic being turned down for coverage for a period over 1 year. There is also extended care offered by some companies to cover the cost of diabetic supplies such as insulin, needles, test strips, glucose monitor, insulin pumps and more.
