[acb-diabetics] The Prodigy Voice Strips

[nancy ungar]

Hi, everyone.  I haven't been on the list for awhile, but I've 
been reading through it.  Recently, United Healthcare, my 
insurance company, has stopped covering the Prodigy Voice strips.  
They're now covering the Solo strips instead.  Do most insurance 
companies do this? That is, do they stop covering the old 
technology and only cover newer things like the Solo strips? I 
have both meters, but why don't they cover both.  Caremark, who 
dispenses my pharmaceuticals sent  me a 90-day supply of strips 
for  the Solo, costing me about $60.  I guess the price of strips 
has  gone up.  Has the Solo meter been updated? I haven't used 
it, but will start using it now.  I have the Solo meter I won in 
a drawing at the national convention 2 years ago, I think.  Pat, 
what is diabetic unawareness?  Talk to everyone later.  Fondly, 
Nancy Ungar
