My insurance company doesn't cover home instillations, but they are willing to cover the greater expense of instills in my doctor's office.

SAme here, Donna! They were paying $225 each for me to get them at the Drs. office 3 x a week for 4 years! Yet they are balking at paying the $100 a month for me to do them at home. Doesnt make any sense at all, does it?!!

I never knew how good my insurance was until my daughter had surgery on her insurance. She had the surgery while on our insurance a couple of years ago and I think we paid about $200 for the surgery. She is too old to be on our insurance now. Her surgery cost almost $3000 with her insurance.

I think I have posted my cost for instills. My insurance covers home instills and in the MD’s office. In the office I pay $13 but the office is 90 miles away. That’s why I do home instills. I may have mentioned my cost but we have a $5 copay for generic. It will also cover maintenance meds. for 90days at 30day copay. My urogyn writes the script for 1 daily so meds for 90 treatments cost $15.

To get the catheters and syringes covered I have to use a durable goods supplier (wheelchair diabetic supplies) The catheters are covered and they cost about $0.50 and the syringe cost $0.10 (I think). The needles are not covered. I have had a time finding a supplier for needles. But my durable supplies provider will sell me the needles at cost..$15 per 100.

If I do not use durable supplier the syringes are $1 and the catheters are $4 each. I try to get people to check and see if supplies are covered by insurance if you use a durable good supplier. It was something that I found out from the pharmacist. I guess that is what is good about a small town.
