We use the Omnipod and it has the glucometer built in. So my Endo.'s office just sent some paperwork to the ins. co. stating we needed that one and our ins. ok'd the strips we use/need for like 40 years..lol This should work for you also since your meter sends the info. to her pump. I would contact your Endo. and ask them to send in request to ins. HOPE this works out for you :)Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14934596244945217384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575643970869438173.post-64370400107710223492012-10-08T06:02:42.318-05:002012-10-08T06:02:42.318-05:00If the meter they are requiring you to use is not ...If the meter they are requiring you to use is not one standardly used and approved, if it is not up to standard according to your endo, your endo can prescribe a meter (or a specific class of meters). Endo needs to call the insurance company and fight for your meter by saying meter prescribed is not acceptable. Needs to get preauthorization from the insurance company. Once you get the preauthorization number write it down and make sure to have endo put the preauth number, along with 3 or 4 refills on the script. The refills are important or endo will have to do this every month. As it is, he/she will have to do this every 9 months to a year. Endo could also mention that he feels it is imperative that she use the meter that communicates with the pump as he uses this for analysis and D care. If insurance declines endos request get yourself a case manager at the insurance company and fight it. There is a lot of attention being paid today about the variation -- or lack of -- between blood sugar meters. Only a few are acceptable to use. Because of this, there are a lot of studies you can find on this issue, print out and use in your fight. But I think the endo specifing why he wants you to use your specific meter and him prescribing it will be enough. Hope so, as you are probably busy but it's worth fighting for.
