I even got the short ones. The copay was only slightly higher than the formulary copay. So I’m very pleased.
One of my commenters is on the same insurance as I am, she wrote about getting the needles automatically. I’ve never gotten needles automatically, of course, my script for the Novolog reads for pump use.
When I was on MDI, my doctor’s office always wrote a script for needles and insluin at the same time, but I can’t remember if they were the same script or not.
My CDE wrote the Symlin script with both Symlin AND the shorter BD Needles on the same script and it was definately different copays.
FYI: I am REALLY looking forward to dealing with insurance next year. They are giving us a debit card for FSA purchases. I’ll just set up Medco to use that card, and use that at the doctor’s now and won’t have to deal with cash. I think I still may have to deal with receipt though, and I will have to get better about that.
