Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 You need to educate your insurance company. If in fact you need the fully audible meter like the Prodigy Voice. As far as I know, the Prodidgy Voice is no more expensive then the Autocode at the retail level, but no matter, if you need a fully audible meter, you can get it covered by talking to the right people. You might need something from your doctor as I think about it.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 You should be able to get the PV with no trouble. Assuming you have sufficient sight loss and can not read a screen, have your doctor write a letter for your insurance provider. By law, you qualify for a fully audible meter such as the Prodidgy Voice.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi , I keep hearing that, " Prodigy Voice is the best or, second best talking meter there is " . But, I don't need a talking meter, just one that displays both, the time and date in larger or, bolder type. ________________________________ To: blind-diabetics Sent: Sunday, March 18, 2012 9:50 PM Subject: Re: Prodigy Meter  Hi.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I guess it depends on the Insurance company, but under my Humana Gold Plus plan, the Prodigy Voice is fully covered with no co-pay as are the strips. The only diabetic supply I have a co-pay for are the Lantus Solo Star pens and that’s only $7 for a box of 5.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Rick, You have a great plan. I have to pay a $45 co-pay for my Humalog pens for a box of 5 (a 30-day prescription,) but for the Lantus Solo pens, since I only take 10 units per day, I have to pay for a 90-day co-pay of about $150 for a box of 5 pens. And, I also will probably be paying 15% or 20% co-pay for strips when I change suppliers the next time I get supplies. What's your monthly premium, if you don't mind me asking?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Dave, It’s taken directly out of my SSDI check every month. As I recall, it’s around $98 or so. I’ve noticed with these Humana HMO plans, coverage and co-pays can really vary from one area to another. Not sure how they come up with their criteria but the co-payments here in Broward county Florida where I am can be different from say Orlando Florida. I do agree however that it’s a great plan. I’ve had Humana Gold Plus since about 1995. I’ve never had an issue with them and coverage has always been very good.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I don’t pay anything additional. Maybe you should check out Humana Gold Plus. True, it’s an HMO, not PPO, but the coverage is great and not bad at all if you find a good primary care physician. My doctor is part of a group called Continued Care that will even provide transportation if you need it. Check out Humana, you have nothing to lose.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Dave, I’m no expert, but the main difference is that with a PPO, you are free to choose any doctor you want as long as they accept your plan, and you don’t ever have to get a referral to see any specialist you want. With an HMO, you have your primary care which you are free to choose as long as they are within the plan’s network. Same with specialists, they have to be in the plan’s network but in some cases you need a referral first which normally has never been a problem for me. Same goes for pharmacies and other services. They have to be in-network.

I will definitely look into Humana /Gold. I've actually been with them at one point, but it wasn't a Gold plan as I recall. My plan is a PPO. What's the difference between this and an HMO?

I asked if, I could change my meter to the Prodigy Auto Code. Seeing my insurance only covers that meter. To make a long story short, when I got hone, my Accu-Chek testing supplies were waiting for me. I'll have to wait and see what happens.
