How can you find Low Cost Diabetic Supplies?

Jan. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- One way is for patients to talk to their physician to see if he or she is aware of any programs or promotions being provided by pharmaceutical companies.  He may have samples available to the patient or can direct them to sources for them to contact.

C. Molina editor of several diabetes websites like http://www.mydiabetessupply.com, said:

“…The internet has a wealth of companies that offer low cost or no cost supplies. In dealing with these companies, special attention must be paid to the fine print detailing who exactly is eligible for these services. Medicare and Medicaid provide low cost supplies to those who are eligible. Medicare Part B can also help in keeping costs low. Another resource is the local public health department…”

Often, one must pass eligibility requirements, but sometimes programs are open for everyone. One way to find out when these programs are available is to look for notices in the local newspaper. Local health clinics and hospitals are another resource, and they too advertise programs in the local newspaper or even in flyers or newsletters.


“…One big resource that can help the patient obtain low cost diabetes supplies is using coupons or rebate programs from local stores. Several of the countries' leading pharmacy chains offer weekly sales that, when combined with rebates or available coupons, allow the patient to buy items at low cost, or no cost. Again, the internet is a great resource for researching which pharmaceutical chains have the best sales and rebate programs. There are sites dedicated to couponing and deal finding that can help one find the best deals available in their area. By using these resources, the diabetic patient can keep his medical costs low...”
