[Diabetes-talk] Test Strips Used with Prodigy Voice Meter?

[Alan Lemly]

Medicare has again changed the rules for getting diabetic test strips and
I'm looking for a provider. This seems like a good time to switch to the
Prodigy Voice meter as my vision continues to deteriorate.

 

I've contacted Arriva out of Florida and I've set up an initial order for
the Prodigy Autocode meter test strips. I know the Autocode meter is
different from the Prodigy Voice but since the strips will be the main cost
over time, I'm trying to determine whether these two meters use the same
test strips. If the Prodigy Autocode strips won't work in the Prodigy Voice
meter, I need to find this out as quickly as possible and cancel my order
with Arriva.

 

I know I probably should have gotten this information from the Arriva
enrollment person I spoke with but my experience after talking with several
of these Medicare-approved suppliers is that they are strong on trying to
sell you stuff that the government is paying for and weak on listening.

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer in clarifying whether the
Prodigy Voice and Autocode use the same test strips.
