http://www.apidra.com/pump_friendly/default.aspx Seems they are giving away free Apidra insulin until March 2012. Not sure why but I printed the card and will check it out soon when I get set up with the OmniPod.
I got one too. It really works. My bill for Apidra this month was 0$! I guess I better start stocking up till March. I believe it was because of the shortage of Apidra pens.
Yeah and if you or your spouse has served OUR US Government (25yrs of army) and you have Tricare you are NOT eligible. What a joke!!!
That is so disappointing to hear. That’s ridiculous!
yes that is pitifull. how much is your insulin on tricare?
I’m going to get the vials to use w/my new OmniPod pump.
They are only waiving the co-pay. In other words, as an example, private insurance pays them, say, 80% of the total price, so they only have to wave 20%. Federal/state sponsored insurance usually pay the drug companies a much smaller share, say 30%, so they would have to waive a lot more, or even 70% in these cases, which is VERY unfortunate/sad.
Also, they are not an American company, so being an American veteran (and THANK YOU!, by the way) does not matter to them.
Does anyone know if this works for mail order pharmacy?
