Become a Partner
Grow Your Business With Pre-Verified Patient Requests
If you operate a licensed, CMS-enrolled durable medical equipment business, a pharmacy handling diabetic supplies, or a medical supply company serving diabetic patients, partnering with Diabetic Discounts Network gives you access to a steady stream of pre-verified, insurance-confirmed patient requests, without the overhead of building your own patient acquisition funnel. This page explains what becoming a partner involves, the benefits of joining our network, and how to get started.
Why Suppliers Choose to Partner With Us
We do the verification work before a request reaches you.
Rather than fielding cold inquiries and spending staff time determining whether a given patient’s insurance actually covers what they’re asking for, our team completes insurance verification and documentation coordination before routing a request to your team. This means the requests you receive are already confirmed, actionable orders rather than unverified leads requiring significant upfront qualification work.
We handle patient-facing intake and support.
Our team serves as the primary point of contact for patient eligibility questions, ongoing refill coordination, and general support, reducing the volume of inbound patient communication your operation needs to manage directly.
We coordinate documentation with treating physicians.
For supplies requiring a certificate of medical necessity or other supporting documentation, our team requests this directly from the patient’s doctor’s office, so the documentation arrives with the order rather than becoming a follow-up task for your staff.
We route based on state and plan-specific fit.
Rather than sending every request to every partner regardless of location or specialization, we match patients to partners properly licensed and positioned to serve their specific state and insurance plan.
We’re actively expanding.
As Diabetic Discounts Network grows into new states and adds new product categories, our need for additional licensed partners grows too, which means new partners joining our network now are positioned to grow alongside that expansion.
What We Look for in a Partner
Active CMS enrollment.
This is a baseline requirement for any DME supplier partner, confirming your business is properly registered to bill Medicare and, generally, positioned to work with Medicaid and private insurers as well.
Appropriate state licensing.
Depending on your state and specific product categories, this may include state-level DME licensing, pharmacy licensing, or other relevant credentials.
Operational capacity to handle patient volume reliably.
We look for partners equipped to process orders, ship supplies promptly, and communicate with patients professionally, since the patients we route to you are trusting that their experience with your business will reflect well on the broader process.
A track record of compliance.
We review a prospective partner’s compliance history as part of our screening process, since maintaining a trustworthy network depends on every partner meeting a consistent standard.
What Happens After You Apply
Initial review.
Our team reviews your application, including your CMS enrollment status, relevant licensing, and the specific product categories and states you’re equipped to serve.
Verification of credentials.
We confirm your enrollment and licensing status directly with the relevant authorities where necessary, rather than relying solely on self-reported information.
Partner agreement.
If your application moves forward, we establish a formal partner agreement covering service expectations, communication standards, data handling responsibilities, and the terms under which requests will be routed to your business.
Onboarding.
Once your agreement is finalized, we work with your team to establish the specific process for receiving and processing requests, including how documentation and patient information will be shared.
Ongoing relationship management.
After onboarding, we maintain regular communication regarding request volume, quality feedback, and any changes to your service capacity or coverage area.
Categories We’re Actively Expanding
As part of our broader growth strategy, we’re particularly interested in partners who can serve:
- Additional states beyond our current core coverage area, particularly as we work toward serving patients nationwide.
- Product categories beyond our current focus on CGMs, glucose meters, test strips, and insulin pump supplies, as we expand our catalog to cover more of a diabetic patient’s ongoing supply needs.
- Specific insurance networks, including additional Medicare Advantage plans, state Medicaid programs, and private insurance carriers where we’re working to expand coverage options for patients.
No Cost to Apply
There is no cost or obligation associated with submitting a partner application. We review every application on its merits, and if we don’t have an immediate fit for your specific business, we may keep your application on file as our network expands into new states or categories where your business would be a good match.
What Partners Say Matters Most
While every business has its own priorities, the partners we’ve worked with tend to value the same handful of things most: knowing a request is genuinely actionable before it lands on their desk, having a single, reliable point of contact for questions rather than a rotating cast of representatives, and clear expectations set upfront rather than discovering requirements after the relationship has already begun. We’ve built our onboarding and ongoing relationship management around addressing exactly these priorities.
A Long-Term Relationship, Not a One-Time Transaction
We view our vendor relationships as long-term partnerships rather than a one-time vetting exercise. As your business grows, adds new licensing, or expands into new states, we want to know, since it may open up new categories of requests we can route to you. Similarly, as we expand our own product catalog and geographic coverage, existing partners are often the first businesses we reach out to about new opportunities, since we already have an established working relationship and track record with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Licensed, CMS-enrolled DME suppliers, pharmacies handling diabetic supplies, and medical supply companies serving diabetic patients are all potential partners, depending on your specific licensing and service capacity.
No. There’s no cost or obligation to submit a partner application, and we review every application on its merits.
You receive pre-verified, insurance-confirmed requests rather than unverified leads, along with reduced patient-facing intake burden, since our team handles eligibility questions and ongoing coordination directly.
This varies depending on the completeness of your application and the complexity of credential verification, but we aim to move efficiently through review, verification, and onboarding once an application is submitted.
Specific terms, including any exclusivity provisions, are addressed in your individual partner agreement rather than as a blanket policy applied to every partner.
If we don’t have an immediate fit for your specific business or coverage area, we may keep your application on file as our network expands into new states or product categories.
This page describes our general partnership opportunity. Specific terms for any partnership are established through a formal, individually negotiated partner agreement.
