My health insurance also just started offering this deal. All of my diabetic supplies are a $10
copay each per month. I have another maintenance drug witha $10 copay. I also take two asthma
medications, and those are $25/month. I don't get refills for things like syringes & pen needles
often, since I reuse them and a one month supply can last me a good long time.
I was wondering what they did for the insulin so I called up the place that handles the mail order
pharmacy for my plan, and the woman told me that they do pack it in insulation and ship it
overnight. I went back to read the letter they sent, and it said that standard delivery is free, but
if you want it next day or second day, you had to pay. I didn't think to ask about that when I was
on the phone. I'm not sure if I would have to pay any shipping, since the insulin would have to be
shipped quickly. I'm in New York, and I think the mail order place is in Texas.
I think I might get my two asthma medications through mail order, since the time factor isn't
important and saving $50 every three months is worth it, but I'll probably stick to the local
pharmacy for the insulin and strips.
