The Prodigy Auto-code can be purchased thru maxiaids.com as well for
$29.95 and the strips are only $1699 for the 50 count bottles.
Just an FYI and you need no prescription to purchase.

Hello,
Well I purchased my Prodigy Meter through Independence Market because I
didn't want to jump through so many hoops when I got it.
It was about 25 percent of the cost if Insurance would have purchased it
through another supplier.
