Medically Modern expands insulin pump and CGM coverage help to all 50 states

Medically Modern now serves patients in all 50 states, helping people get CGMs, insulin pumps and other diabetes supplies through insurance. The New York DME supplier says growth has been driven by hands-on coverage support, provider coordination and in-house technology.

Why it matters: - Medically Modern says more patients can access diabetes technology through insurance without navigating coverage rules alone. - The expansion to all 50 states widens access to CGMs, insulin pumps and related supplies for people who may face different rules under medical and pharmacy benefits. - The company is positioning itself around cases where patients assume coverage is unavailable.

What happened: - Medically Modern, a New York-based durable medical equipment supplier, now serves thousands of patients in all 50 states. - The company specializes in continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps and diabetes supplies. - Founder and CEO Corey Deutsch said growth came from “white-glove service” for durable medical equipment, including up-front cost estimates and paperwork support. - Medically Modern checks insurance benefits, works with prescribing providers on documentation, handles prior authorization when needed and ships supplies to patients’ homes.

The details: - Patient coverage depends on the individual plan, prescription and plan requirements. - The company says growth comes through four main channels: online patient searches, provider referrals, insurance-company referrals and manufacturer referrals. - Medically Modern began by educating people with diabetes about CGM technology and helping them obtain supplies through insurance. - The company works directly with provider practices on CGM and insulin pump referrals and insurance requirements. - Insurers refer patients to Medically Modern, and the company supplies them with technology it builds in house. - Device manufacturers also refer patients to Medically Modern. - The company says its in-house technology is designed to make collaboration easier for patients, employees and referral partners. - Patients can track onboarding and approval through the company’s technology. - Medically Modern builds custom portals around each referral partner’s workflow. - The company works with Medicare, New York Medicaid and many commercial plans. - Network participation varies by plan.

Between the lines: - Medically Modern is leaning into a common pain point in diabetes care: patients often stop at the first price quote and never learn whether another benefit path could lower costs. - Deutsch said a high pharmacy-benefit cost does not automatically mean the same result under a medical benefit. - Deutsch also said not using insulin does not automatically rule out coverage, which can matter for patients who assume they have no options. - Medicare covers CGMs for people who use insulin and for some people who do not but have documented problematic hypoglycemia, if other requirements are met. - That framing suggests the company is using education and benefits checks as a core part of its sales and service model.

What's next: - Patients can start by visiting medicallymodern.com or calling 347-503-7148. - Coverage and final costs will continue to depend on the patient’s prescription, plan and network status. - Medically Modern is likely to keep relying on insurance navigation and referral partnerships as it grows beyond its current patient base.

The bottom line: - Medically Modern is trying to make diabetes supply coverage feel less like a maze and more like a guided service, with state-by-state reach and in-house tech at the center of the pitch.
