Insurance claims for the Dario Test Strips to be reimbursed in Canada

CAESAREA, Israel July 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — LabStyle Innovations Corp. (DRIO), today announced the Dario™ Diabetes Management Solution’s Smart Meter test strips are now reimbursed in Canada by most private insurance plans after the Dario™ was launched in Canada through major pharmacies including London Drugs and online at www.mydario.ca.

” Within a week of launching Dario in Canada over 75% of Canadian medical plans are now covering Dario™ test strips with reimbursement and we expect the balance to come on board over the coming weeks. Reimbursement of the recurring expense of test strips will make it even easier for Canadians to adopt Dario™, which we believe significantly enhances quality of life for people living and thriving with diabetes,” stated Erez Raphael, President and CEO of LabStyle Innovations.

The compact all-in-one system that helps people with diabetes monitor blood sugar levels and proactively manages their diabetes using their smartphone or tablet is distributed in Canada by Auto Control Medical. Dario™ connects via a headphone jack to turn a mobile device into a glucose monitor, and incorporates a lancing device and test strips together with the meter in an all-in-one easy to carry device to take blood glucose measurements on the spot. Unlike conventional glucose monitors, there is no carrying case or batteries to replace, and the system works on both Apple and Android devices. Dario™ provides the diabetes patient’s real-time and historical blood glucose data to spot patterns, recommend treatments and support behavior changes. Its web interface also makes it easy to share health information with healthcare providers and loved ones.
