This is the most common question we get. The short answer is yes — with specific conditions. Here's the complete legal picture.
There is no federal law that prohibits selling unused, privately-purchased diabetic supplies. The FDA regulates diabetic supplies as medical devices — but FDA regulations address manufacturing and labeling, not private resale.
The Anti-Kickback Statute (42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b) and related regulations prohibit reselling supplies that were paid for by Medicare or Medicaid. This is the key restriction. If your supplies were covered by Medicare Part B or Medicaid, selling them violates federal law.
Supplies purchased through private insurance or out of pocket? Completely legal to sell.
Some states have laws governing resale of medical devices, but in practice these apply to commercial resellers (pharmacies, medical supply companies) — not individuals selling personal supplies. No state has successfully prosecuted an individual for selling unused private-pay diabetic supplies.
Ask yourself one question: Was any portion of these supplies paid for by Medicare or Medicaid?
