Re: Novolin pen

We already went through all of that. ::sighs:: The pen isn't strictly a

neccessity, since, the other method is less expensive, and there are devices

that allow for the use of surrenges... I can't spell that word to save my

life. heh

My primary care doctor has tried twice, and the prescription isnot filled.

Brings up a good point, no one pays for the Count-a-dose either, but

fortunately it is only $50, and once you get it at least insurance does pay

for the needles and insulin, though I don't know that MediMedicare pays for

drugs at all, and I don't know anything about Medicaid. LaWanda

That's ture, no one pays for the count-a-dose---unless you are a client with

the Department of Rehabbilitation. I buy them all the time for my cients.

I don't know why your MediCaid won't pay for a novalin pen, either. If you

physician writes the prescription with the workds on it like, " this is needed

to provide independce for a blind diabetic " , you have the right to advocate

for your self with MediCaid and appeal their deniel.

Thank you, I know that but I had the money and so I just went ahead and

paid for it. At the time, I was not a client of rehab and hadn't been for

years. Thanks anyway. LaWanda

Sorry to hear about the medicaid. They can be very frustrating.
