Message: <blockquote data-quote="ert" data-source="post: 2343835" data-attributes="member: 504712">As a returning foreign resident to Australia from the UK (one day), I'd have to have medical insurance in place for 6 months before being able to access Medicare again (the application can take this long). A lot of medical insurances don't cover insulin, so I'd imagine I'd have to pay full price for that. You can register with the NDSS once you have a Medicare number.  Please note the NDSS does not cover insulin, lancets and other products that may be needed for the management of your diabetes. These products can be purchased, either at full retail price or under relevant subsidies, once being able to access Medicare, if using a prescription.<a href="https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/living-with-diabetes/managing-your-diabetes/visiting-or-moving-to-australia/" target="_blank">https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/living-with-diabetes/managing-your-diabetes/visiting-or-moving-to-australia/</a></blockquote>
