How Medicaid and Medicare Glucometer Coverage Works in Arkansas
Medicaid Glucometer Coverage in Arkansas
Arkansas Medicaid covers glucometers for eligible residents who have been diagnosed with diabetes by a licensed physician. Coverage includes the glucose meter itself, test strips, lancets, and in some cases, continuous glucose monitors. The specific brand of glucometer is usually determined by your Medicaid managed care plan pharmacy formulary. Common covered brands include Accu-Chek, OneTouch, FreeStyle, and Contour Next. Finnegan Health works directly with Arkansas Medicaid plans to verify glucometer coverage before your first order ships.
Medicare Blood Sugar Monitor Coverage
Original Medicare Part B covers blood glucose monitors for beneficiaries with diabetes. This includes the meter, test strips, lancets, and lancing devices. Beneficiaries pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after the Part B deductible is met. For Medicare Advantage plans, many plans now offer $0 copay on blood sugar monitors. Finnegan Health is an enrolled Medicare supplier and can bill Medicare directly for your diabetic supplies. We also carry the specific brands listed on Medicare’s national mail-order contract so your order is processed without coverage confusion.
Private Insurance Diabetic Supplies Coverage
Most private insurance plans in Arkansas cover diabetic supplies at varying copay levels. PPO and HMO plans typically require a prescription and may limit the number of test strips per month based on your diabetes type. Finnegan Health accepts most major Arkansas insurers, including Arkansas BlueCross BlueShield, Ambetter, and qualifying employer-sponsored plans.
Verifying Your Coverage
Not sure which glucometer your plan covers? Call 1-888-789-6600 and provide your insurance information. Our benefits verification team will confirm Medicaid glucometer coverage, Medicare blood sugar monitor eligibility, and private insurance copays within one business day. Once verified, we ship your supplies directly to your door at no cost.
Wound Care at Home: Essential Supplies for Safe Healing
Managing wound care at home can feel overwhelming, especially when you or a loved one is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or treating a minor injury. The right wound care supplies make all the difference in preventing infection, supporting natural healing, and reducing unnecessary trips to a clinic. At Finnegan Health Services, we provide Arkansas families with the wound care products they need, delivered directly to your door with Medicaid and Medicare coverage options.
Whether you are learning how to dress an open wound at home for the first time or stocking up on routine supplies for ongoing care, this guide walks you through the products we offer and how each one supports the healing process.
Understanding Your Wound Care Supplies
Every wound is different. Some need basic protection, while others require advanced dressings to manage drainage, fight infection, or support tissue regrowth. Here is a breakdown of the wound care products available through Finnegan Health Services:
Gauze is the foundation of most wound care kits. Versatile and highly absorbent, gauze pads and rolls are ideal for cleaning wounds, packing deeper wounds, protecting healing skin, and applying gentle pressure to control bleeding. If you are dressing wounds at home, gauze is likely the supply you reach for most often.
Calcium Alginate dressings are designed for wounds with significant drainage. Made from seaweed fibers, these dressings absorb fluid while maintaining a moist healing environment. They are particularly effective for pressure ulcers and venous ulcers where exudate management is critical.
Silver Dressings provide an antimicrobial barrier using silver ions to help prevent infection in burns, chronic wounds, and surgical sites. For patients managing diabetic wounds at home, silver dressings offer an extra layer of protection against bacteria. Learn more in our guide to using silver dressings for diabetic wounds at home.
Medical Tape keeps dressings securely in place without irritating sensitive skin. Our tape is strong, flexible, and easy to tear, making it practical for everyday wound care needs.
Collagen Dressings support the body's natural healing process by attracting new tissue cells to the wound site. These are ideal for chronic wounds or wounds that are not healing as expected.
Foam Dressings provide cushioning while absorbing moderate to heavy drainage. Their breathable design helps maintain optimal moisture balance, making them a good choice for wounds that need both protection and exudate management.
How to Dress a Wound at Home: Quick Reference
If you are new to home wound care, the basic process involves four steps: clean your hands and the wound area, apply the appropriate dressing your physician recommends, secure it with medical tape or a wrap, and monitor for changes. For a complete walkthrough, read our step-by-step guide to changing wound dressings safely at home.
Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions. Home care supports professional treatment but never replaces it. If you notice increased redness, swelling, foul odor, or fever, contact your physician right away.

Frequently Asked Questions
What supplies do I need to dress an open wound at home? The basic supplies for open wound dressing at home include sterile gauze, a prescribed wound dressing (such as calcium alginate, silver dressing, foam, or collagen depending on the wound type), saline solution or wound cleanser, medical tape, and sterile gloves. Your physician will recommend specific products based on your wound's characteristics.
How do I know which wound care gauze to use? Wound care gauze comes in several forms: sterile pads for covering wounds, rolled gauze for wrapping, and conforming gauze for hard-to-dress areas. For most home wound care, sterile 4x4 gauze pads and rolled gauze cover the basics. For wounds with heavy drainage, pair gauze with a more absorbent primary dressing like calcium alginate or foam.
Does Arkansas Medicaid cover wound care supplies? Yes. Arkansas Medicaid covers wound care supplies when prescribed by a physician for documented wounds. Coverage includes gauze, dressings, medical tape, and specialized products like silver dressings and collagen. Finnegan Health Services verifies your coverage and handles the paperwork so you can focus on healing.
How often should I change a wound dressing at home? Dressing change frequency depends on the wound type, drainage level, and your physician's instructions. Most dressings are changed daily or every other day, but heavily draining wounds may require more frequent changes. Always follow your healthcare provider's specific guidance.
When should I call my doctor about a wound? Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you notice increased redness spreading beyond the wound edges, foul-smelling drainage, pus, fever, increased pain, or wound enlargement. These signs may indicate infection that requires prompt medical attention.
