| Ironically, we spend NOTHING now for supplies - and I'm not sure why - no, I'm not a dip - but here's the scoop.
Up until May 2006, hubby was on oral meds - 3 different ones. We paid $35 per 3 month prescription for each med. We also paid a co-pay (can't remember how much) for the testing supplies.
Then last May he had to go off orals and onto insulin MDI and we paid the $35 copay for the Novalog pen and $35 for the long acting insulin pen (can remember the name) and still the co-pay for test strips, etc.
When we got the pump, we were contacted by CCS pharmaceutical supply and they said that insulin, all pump supplies, all testing supplies were free. I questioned them, said I had been paying a co-pay and they said, "Not anymore". Not sure why - almost afraid to ask?!?!
Anyway, everything is way less expensive now that he is on the pump. |
