Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hello , I got mine through Group Health but you can also get it from Speak to me. Just make sure that your insurance company will cover the cost of the strips because you only get ten when you buy the Prodigy Voice from Speak to me. If you have any other questions, you can email me privately or call me if you like. Sharon Schauer A Question regarding blood monitoring meter prices Hello All My husband is still in the throws of getting his glucose monitoring meter, he is going for the protegy voice. I am wondering what price range those of you who use this meter were able to purchase yours at, and where they were purchased from? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 , I bought my Prodigy Voice - Blood Glucose Monitoring System from American Diabetes Wholesale for $39.99 which I paid out-of-pocket without any insurance reimbursement. This was the lowest price I was able to find for this product after searching on the internet. Their prices for the test strips for this unit are also pretty reasonable at $14.99 for a box of 50. Here is the link for the meter: http://www.americandiabeteswholesale.com/-strse-1040/Prodigy-Voice-Totally-A udible/Detail.bok Alan Lemly A Question regarding blood monitoring meter prices Hello All My husband is still in the throws of getting his glucose monitoring meter, he is going for the protegy voice.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hi I believe you can get the meter you are talking about from Independent Living Aids and Speak to Me as well as some other companies that sell talking products for the blind. However, it's not the cost of the meter itself that is the problem. It's the test strips that will really hurt your pocketbook since you have to test several times a day. I would suggest using a company that deals with insurance so you can get not only the cost of the meter covered but the cost of other supplies as well. The companies I mentioned above that sell these and other products for the blind are just retailers and do not deal with insurance.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I'll reinforce that the most important thing is to insure the supplier you select works with insurance. If the person who originally posted this question is not in the US, then all this talk about insurance may be moot. I happen to be using Advanced Diabetic Solutions. More and more such suppliers seem to be coming on the scene, but as long as they cover the cost of the strips, and that should be 100%, it shouldn't matter which one you select. It might be necessary to educate your insurance company about the existence of the Prodigy Voice meter/strips. They'll have all the well known manufacturers in their list, but Prodigy is not usually one they know about. They should approve it with no trouble.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Are you talking about the Voicemate? If so, they are supposed to discontinue the production of the Comfort Curve strips.
