For many diabetic patients, getting the supplies they need can
be a frustrating experience. There are many options that exist
and many places that will even help you fill out the paperwork
that is needed for your insurance company. However, sifting
through all of the information and selecting the right option
for you can be time consuming and nerve wracking. These
suggestions will help you decide where to purchase your diabetes
supplies.
While you are conducting your search, be sure go check that the
companies you are considering have an actual address that isn't
a P.O. Box. What you are looking for is that any diabetes supply
company you are thinking of purchasing from is a real company,
not someone who is, for instance, buying and reselling supplies.
While you are checking for a knowledgeable staff, ask if they
have a pharmacist on staff. If they don't, find out if they have
a certified diabetes educator on staff that can answer your
questions. This will help to ensure that you are dealing with a
reputable firm and not a fly by night company.
First, do not deal with any diabetes supply company that is not
based in the United States or in Canada. The reason for this is
simple, if the supply company is not in North America, shipping
tends to be less dependable and your supplies could be held in
customs. Avoid supply sources that are located in South America,
Asia or Mexico for these reasons.
You also want to know who fills out the insurance or Medicare
paperwork. Most larger, well-run diabetes supply companies will
offer this service for you as an added benefit. They will know
what the insurance companies require to process a claim. If they
offer this to you, use the service to your advantage. It is also
a good idea to contact your insurance company to verify that
they work with a particular diabetes supply source.
When you are beginning your search for a diabetic supply source,
it is important to know what to look for. While you can purchase
the needed supplies from your doctor, online or through a mail
order company, some important questions need to be answered
before you decide. You will need to know where they are located,
what the hours of operation are, how qualified the staff is to
answer questions and how they will ship the diabetes supplies to
you.
Shipping is very important when purchasing diabetes supplies.
Find out how they ship the products, this information could
ensure that you get supplies that are good and that have not
gone bad in transit. Insulin, for example needs to be kept cold
to stay useable, ask how they ensure this. Ask about shipping
charges also, some companies will offer free shipping as an
incentive to buy from them. However, if they don't, the shipping
can get expensive.
