| Before pumping and before being referred to Focus Pharmacy, I was paying out about $96 in co-pays each month..........$55 for test strips, $24 for NPH penfills & 70/30 pens, $12 for pen tips & $5 for Metformin.
Now I only pay out a $5 a month co-pay for 2 vials of Novolog, plus my $5 for Metformin. My test strips and pump supplies cost me ZERO co-pay because Focus accepts the 80% United Healthcare pays them as full payment.
Kimmy............one more note of interest. Have your endo write your insulin script for more than one vial. The first Rx my endo wrote me was for one vial at a $12 co-pay at the time. I went through that vial the first 2 weeks because of some problems I was having with filling the reservoirs and had to pay $12 for another vial. My pharmacist told me to have him write it for 2 vials because it would still be $12. A few months after pumping, United lowered it's co-pay on Novolog to $5. Yippie!
