Ut-oh Almost Out of Infusion Sets

Posted by Chris on Jan 8, 2010 in Uncategorized | 1 comment

Ut-oh, those were my exact words when I went to put in a new infusion site tonight.  You know why?  Because I only have less than one box left of them.  I used to have a lot when I worked for that supply company last year.  I will never call them or use them for supplies ever, not just because of the way I was let go from them, but for other reasons as well, so I’m not sure where to call.  I am getting set up with my Cobra some time next week.  Let me get into that quickly as well.  I was expecting to pay almost $600 some dollars a month for Cobra, wow was I wrong!  The statement came in and said that it is about $300 something a month, but with the new law that came into affect, I am only responsible to pay for 35% of it, so you can do that math on that.  I was extremely happy about that.

My questions will come once I get Cobra.  Does it act just like my old insurance or is it a whole new insurance, so my supplies and insulin come from a different place again?  I haven’t had to order pump supplies in almost 2 years so I don’t remember how to do it.  I might go straight through Medtronic, but I’ve had nothing but headaches from them and bills that I never expected, so I’m not sure if I want to do that.

Well once I get it all set up on Monday, I will figure it out.  I just need to get some more infusion sets before it is too late.

Have a great weekend everyone.

    Using COBRA shouldn’t affect your actual day-to-day experience. I had it for a while and noticed no changes, it’s just that you are paying the portion of the insurance tag your former employer was paying so the insurance company is still getting 100% of your premiums.

    Good luck!
