I am new to Medicare and AARP supplementary insurance so I don't have all
my ducks in a row on what is what, but I was told by my pharmacy that I can
only get 100 test strips per month that will be covered. I called up to
ask Medicare why and that I have my doctor's perscription saying I test 4 to
6 times a day. They told me I have to order thru mail order to get more
then 100 strips covered. Since I am new to all of this just this month, I
am stumbling around and trying to learn what I need to do.
I do have Prodigy Voice and I now have information for a mail order, but I
am concern now with what has been put up on this list.
I just had before I went on Medicare a real hassle getting a new Prodigy
Voice meter from my old insurance company. The final thing on that one was
I had to pay out of pocket $148 for just the meter. That is what the
provider charged my insurance company and my insurance company had a $200
deductible for durable medical devices. I was very much upset since I could have
bought this machine forjust under $50 online.
insurance humbug!
