Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / May 2008Dang insurance
I am on Humalog 75/25 insulin. Because my sugar hasn't had the control I want,my dr. doubled it. I take 37mg before breakfast and 27 mg before supper. It didn't occur to me that the price would double...duh! I got a bill for 350$ and I am so upset. Live and learn. Janie >I am on Humalog 75/25 insulin.

But with pills and needles and strips, mine covers 90 days at a time. I got three pens per prescription. At the rate I am injecting, I don't think that will cover 90 days. But at the time he prescribed it, he didn't know how much per day I would be using. > >I am on Humalog 75/25 insulin. Because my sugar hasn't had the control > > I want,my dr. doubled it.

I think mine doubled when I had ti increase it. But I'm go9ing to talk to my husband's boss and see if she can direct me to some insurance help. Janie >>I am on Humalog 75/25 insulin.

You will need to keep close contact with your doctor and he can modify prescriptions. Diabetes is expensive with insurance. Without it ---a super load. The people in the medical business are not bit timid. For me lie vacations are not on the agenda. Each year we have to give up more and more to stay solvent. I had a recent incident and they told me a number of tests were necessary. Then Medicare refused to pay. was told My part of the bill was limited. But that limit hurts anyway. The submitted bill to Medicare was around $10,000. You might as well get used to bills. ----== Posted via Pronews.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.pronews.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups ---= - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- > I am on Humalog 75/25 insulin.

WalMart has their own brand insulin, but i don't know if it comes premix too........... give them a call  Signaturekate type 1 since 1987 www.diabetic-talk.org > I am on Humalog 75/25 insulin.

One even showed up at my door. The predators are waiting for personal disasters to grab the bounty. They have an actors demeanor and are just to help you. Help you out of your hard earned bucks. Some in the profession accuse you of wasting their time if you ask a question. It is time people hit back at the spoiled brats. Socialize the whole business and establish controls. They have failed at professional conduct. Why old people get bitter. ----== Posted via Pronews.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.pronews.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups ---= - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- >>> I am on Humalog 75/25 insulin.

I got a call on my cell phone a couple of days ago. First, it took a bit for the woman to recover from realizing I was a female. NO business of any kind has my cell phone, so I knew it was marketing, and I was able to get rid of her during her weakness, Then, Jim said while he was here yesterday, before coming down the street to get me, there was a call for me, and he told them I was not there. They wanted to know when I would be available. He asked if it was about insurance. After telling them I was disabled, they said guess he handled my insurance then, and he said he sure did. They said and he was sure he had me fully covered, to which he said yes (100%), and hung up then. But you are right Guy. Once they see we are on Medicare, it is like we are swathed with blood and the hounds are set loose after us.
