Mega Health Rx in Forest Hills carries diabetic supplies — meters, test strips, lancets, pen needles and more — bills your insurance or Medicare for them, and delivers them free with your medications. You can also walk in for a quick blood sugar screening.

Insurance and Medicare
Most plans cover test strips, meters and lancets with a prescription, but many cover only certain brands. Medicare generally covers blood sugar testing supplies under Part B. We check which brand your plan prefers so you don’t pay more than you need to. If your plan changes its preferred meter, we can ask your doctor for an updated prescription.
Blood sugar screening
Walk in for a quick fingerstick blood sugar check. A pharmacist will explain what the number means. A screening can’t diagnose diabetes, but it can tell you whether to see your doctor for an A1C test. Consider asking your doctor about diabetes screening if you are 35 or older and overweight, have a family history of diabetes, or had diabetes in pregnancy.
Never run short
We keep your supplies on the same refill schedule as your medications and deliver them together, free, anywhere in NYC. If you are testing more often than your prescription allows, we can contact your doctor to update it.
Diabetes medication review
People with diabetes often take several medications. A medication review can catch interactions, duplicate medications and ways to lower your costs.
