4 days ago it was infusion set changing day, so I went to grab
a new set and realized I was down to 3 sets! I think I went into
panic mode just like a druggy being out of drugs. which I've never
done when I've ran out of my meds.
the last time I'd ordered my sets from Animas directly and they
refused to put my order under my pharmacy plan and stated that
it could only be billed under my DME which is billed at 80/20 therefore
I got my bill of around $280. which really isn't too bad since its for 4
months of supplies for my pump. but even at that price, it often breaks
us because of the other money going out for my other meds. So, I was
talking to my endo about cheaper places and she gave me a few to call.
so when I went into panic mode, I found the paper and started calling
on Tuesday morning. I'd gone through the first 3 and none of them were
a help, then finally the 4th said she'd call my insurance co and talk to
them
and call me back. about 45mins later the phone rang, answered it and told
me that everything was a GO! asked what all I needed, then said they most
likely would need a script from my endo, asked me their name, she pulled
it up in the computer, I verified and said I'd have my order by Friday..
At 11:38am this morning FedEx was a knockin' with my box! I opened it to
make sure everything was there, it was, including my strips in a cold box!
nicely wrapped and insulated with a ice pack! I didn't need any insulin
right
now, because I can get that off my pharmacy plan. But they said they can
bill my strips off my DME which once I reached my deductable for the year
they take my insurances 80% as payment in FULL! so for the rest of the year
NONE of my pump supplies or strips will cost me a CENT!
WHOOHOO!
So if anyone else has a simular policy, and are interested in the place let
me
know. They'll also take medicare.

Reisa,
Good News!!! It's about time as it has been pretty rocky for you lately.
Now lets get the back pain reduced, if not to zero, then to a very low
number.
