Every time I have to order Tandem infusion sets and cartridges CCS gives me a hassle like I’m trying to cheat. I know that Medicare requires that I’m down to 10 days supply before they will release the order. But that’s risky. I could run out before CCS finally get my order to me. Does anyone have a supplier that is easier to work with? Also, does your supplier count only sealed boxes on hand? CCS makes me count every single cartridge.

Good grief, JUST LIE!! Don’t end up with too few supplies. Same with dexcom–their reps told us to always put “zero” on hand for our monthly sensor order-forms, instead of “1”. I get Medicare coverage for my pump supplies, also and MM always asks how many I have left. When I didn’t know how many to tell them, I had to wait a while for the count to satisfy Medicare, before MM would send out my supplies. Now I know what to tell them when placing orders.

I switched from CCS to Byrum because of how CCS treated me. You described it well - the general idea that I’m a lowlife. Hope you can switch to a more professional company. I am on Medicare too. Best to you.
Thanks Kimball1. I’ll check it out. As soon as I get this order
in-house I plan to switch to a different supplier. Who needs this
hassle in their life.

hey, no matter the supplier you WILL be asked how many supplies u have on hand when you are a Medicare recipient. They spend enough–they don’t want providing excess supplies, although we all know that in actuality, that’s what happens.
Good luck!
