[Diabetes-talk] questions about Solo meter and Prodigy Voice

[Chanelle Hill]

Do you mean that I should find a provider who accepts Medicaid that would be 
willing to carry the Solo strips? I use a company called Byram Healthcare to 
get strips for the Prodigy Voice. I know that Advanced Diabetic Solutions 
takes Medicaid for other states, so the company has probably not gone 
through the process to enroll as a provider with Minnesota medicaid.

>  Any ideas or answers would be greatly appreciated.
>  Thank you.
