[Diabetes-talk] For those who have Liberty Medical to get these prodigy voice test strips

[cheryl echevarria]

Here in NY I have had 5 people call me one after the other, who have 
insurance companies that get the prodigy test strips from Liberty Medical.

Liberty Medical is telling people and sending out letters that Prodigy is 
not making the meters and strips any longer.

I just got off the Prodigy.com they said no such a thing is going on.

For some reason Liberty Medical is no longer carrying the prodigy products.

My question is for Kelly and others on the list.

Um, what do people do who have no other choice with there insurance on who 
to use for the durable medical supplies for the prodigy strips.  First ADS 
and now Liberty Medical, they are also a company that handles a lot of 
Medicare clients, since they are a durable medical supplier for Medicare.

Should we be aware of other companies that are not carrying the product 
anymore?

This is a legit question, I am not trying to be rude and nasty, since I was 
just elected as board member of the Newly created DAN Division here in NY. 
I will be doing a lot of fact finding not only for NY but for this division 
as well, since I am a medical insurance specialist as well, that people need 
alternatives to getting there supplies.

Like myself I am still having issues in the future of getting my lantus, my 
doctor had to call in an override to the insurance company and into Medco 
where I get my meds.

I have spoken to my congressman's office and they are helping me with this 
issue.  Hopefully but the end of the month I will not have to worry about 
Lantus, we are trying to get me on the insulin pump, but at the same time if 
I cannot get on it, and I can't use another insulin for my diabetes, we need 
to talk to congress when we are in Washington this year about this, and let 
them know the problems with our insurance companies and suppliers as well.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
