[QUOTE="Chnandler Bong, post: 152498, member: 6846"] I just wanted to thank everyone for their help and provide an update on my problem. I've been spending my last few lunch hours on the phone with our various insurance companies and I think it has finally been straightened out. Aetna says they will pay for the strips and that everything I submitted to them was correct. Apparently there was some confusion on the part of the people processing my claim. They looked at it as an over-the-counter prescription and automatically denied it. However, the way I now understand it, these are included in our insurance under our "Major Medical" as "durable equipment and supplies". Regardless of who our prescription coverage is with. I won't actually believe any of this until the check is in my hand, but it is good news for now. I sometimes wonder if it isn't policy for insurance companies to deny claims and put up as many roadblocks as possible in the hopes that people will just give up and pay out of their own pockets. As I previously stated, I don't know how people can get by without health insurance. And I am extremely grateful for ours. But ALWAYS question them! By the way. I found a website that sells these supplies at wholesale rates. I haven't tried them, so I can't say if they are legit, but their prices are better than anything I can get locally. Since Aetna only pays 80%, it may be worth looking into. But they may not be any better than some of the places previously mentioned.Diabetes Testing Supplies - Discount Diabetic Supplies - American Diabetes Wholesale Happy New Year and thanks again.
