where do you buy your supplies?

[einzel]

I just received prescriptions for everything I need to do home instills. It looks like my local pharmacy can get me the medications, but I need to purchase the catheters, syringes, etc. Where do you guys purchase yours? I'm looking for an online store that will work with my insurance company, and I'd really appreciate some suggestions.

Thanks!

If you contact your insurance company directly - they should be able to tell you who their preferred online supplier is - I get my supplies from a local medical supply store (durable goods supplier).

I get everything for home instillations (medicines, catheters, syringes) from Western Drug Medical in Glendale CA, delivered to my doorstep by FedEx. They bill my insurance directly, they are a "contract provider" so I get the lowest cost, & then I pay the copay.

PS. I went through he** trying to find a contract provider when my ins company just gave me a list of a gazillion pharmacies, but no information as to what they could provide. After a day of lost work & literally 8 hours of phone calls, I called my insurance company in tears & the rep (who was the only one there with any common sense) told me to ask for a "case manager nurse" & to state that not being able to find the insurer's "contract" pharmacy was causing a delay in my care. The "case manager" nurse found me this place in a matter of hours... Maybe I was just lucky, but you could try asking for a "case manager" if you're not able to find anything on your own...
