| Test strips and Durable medical equipment
One thing I found out recently was that how your strips, lancets and meters are coded for insurance can effect your financial responsibility. When my Dr. wrote a script for me to take to the pharmacy my copay was $45.00 a month for 100 strips. I discovered however that if I receive my strips as Durable Medical equipment then it is a $50 deductible a year and then 100 percent coverage of costs. My Dr. sent over a new Rx to the DME and I was able to save a lot of money. YMMV of course, but it was really useful for me. Since I have Sleep Apnea and use a CPAP my DME deductible was already way covered. |
