Expansion of insulin pump coverage a relief to Kamloops resident
KAMLOOPS — As of Tuesday, PharmaCare is covering the cost of insulin pumps for everyone who needs them, regardless of age.
Prior to this, coverage stopped at age 25, causing those living with diabetes to foot the bill themselves.
At 27-years-old, Alyssa Kyllo was preparing herself to pay the approximately $7,000 required to purchase a new insulin pump.
