[Diabetes-talk] New ways?

[cheryl echevarria]

I had posted this prior to convention. 

Depending on the pharmacy they may be audited by Medicare. Not all pharmacies will be doing this, but and we don't like it much, but Medicare is cracking down on how much is being ordered.

We also may not like the fact that pharmacies as well as people who use the strips are not always, shall we say, the nicest people in the bunch.

People make money off of the medical supplies and prescription drugs.

So, yes, you pharmacy can ask you to do this. They will also be asking you dr for this information as well, meaning proof and not just taking the dr word for it.

Sorry it is just the world we live in.

  I was due to reorder my strips and was told that a few months ago a new practice began, we must  either send our log books to the  supplier, or send them the meter in use for a new one each  3 months to prove the amount of times we are checking. Is this accurate?
  Seems my doctors RX should be enough, but with all the  changes in the medical world, I wondered about this new practice?
