it goes by who you insurance carrier is and what contract they have with which medical supply company, if you have Medicare that is different.
The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!

Hi debbie any of the sellers mentioned on this list should be able to
provide you a solo meter for purchase. Advance pro I think is the NFB choice
I used Alan Medical because I wasn't aware of the other firm Maxi-aids might
have them and independent living aids does. The strips also can be
purchased from any of these providers They aren't necessarily hard to come
by but you can't pick them up at your local pharmacy. You might if buying
the solo want to check arround and compare mine initially didn't come with
the computer cable but I told them I found out that other providers were
including it so they sent me a free one.
Have a great day
Mike
