Are Test Strips Rx Only?

I want to buy some test strips for cheap online (without insurance coverage since kaiser doesn’t cover them). Do I need a prescription to order strips online? And if so how do i get an Rx to them? seems strange to me

here’s what i want

I HAVE BOUGHT TEST STRIPS AT A CVS PHARMACY WITHOUT A Rx BUT THEY WERE LIKE 100$ FOR 100 TEST STRIPS CRAZY EXPENSIVE…

yeah, that’s what i figured, they’re only rx if you want an insurance discount. This kit is 800 strips for 60 bucks
wicked cheap

Be careful about ordering those! It seems that the item is probably just mislabeled. I seriously doubt that you will actually get 50 drums containing 17 strips each! That particular strip comes in boxes with 3 drums (51 strips) or 6 drums (102 strips). I’m guessing they marked the item you saw as 50, because that’s the quantity almost every other strip comes in, but the price is actually for ONE box containing 3 drums.

yeah, i wasn’t going to order them without calling tomorrow when they open. I’m cautious with that too

found more legit and discounted ones

yay!

Hi Joanie,
Why doesn’t Kaiser cover them? they covered mine for 10 years without a problem have you been given a reason?

Be well and be loved

they said they strictly ONLY cover OneTouch strips

awe I see I use one touch so I never ran into issue’s. I know they will cover as many strips as you need plus the meter maybe you should get the script as backup …
be loved

Hey Joanie,
If I may, try HealthWarehouse:

In the interest of full disclosure, they are a TuDiabetes home page sponsor but a cool thing about them is not only their price, which is competitive with the one you found, but also that you can get a 5% discount as a TuDiabetes member. When you check out, make sure to enter the promotional code 2DABETES.

Hope this helps.
