I use Precision Xtra test strips. The insurnace cost is $107.00 and my
co-pay is $46.00.
I can order them on line for a total cost of $49.00. So what's going on
here? Is insurance really paying or are they forcing me to pay full
price? I feel the insurance cost should be $49.00 and my co-pay $24.50
since they agree to pay about half.
What kind of screwing is going on here?

Hello Van,

Welcome and sorry you had to find this place. �You say you can get them
online for $49? But where online? That is what you don't tell us. If it's
ebay,
CL or another type of site then you might be getting expired strips or
ones
that might have been tampered with, perhaps they are someones extras they
are selling for a small profit or just to get back their co-pay. �If you
check
other major retail pharmacies you'll see the $107 is about average price.

So, I don't think your insurance co is ripping you off in that regard.
In other
ways, yes, all insurance co's are ripping all of us off one way or
another.

Steve H.

All you have to do is search. There are dozens of places to get them half
price With FREE SHIPPING. Why don't you look for yourself. I did.

I don't have to look online for cheap strips. My insurance pays for mine and
I get 600 a month. It's what I pay insurance for. I don't have a need to
raise
my glucose levels by getting pissed off of thinking my insurance co is
ripping
me off.

Ain't that the truth! lol
