Ok I went in to pick up some pins last week, just some 18G pins not the syringes. I was told that you now need a script to buy just the pins so I said forget it but the pharmacist called my doc to see if they could get a script for it, she also looked up my past history and saw that I bought 25 G pins with a 3cc syringe -- MY doc authorized both of them to be filled.
Now my insurance covers my insulin needles totally as long as I buy them when I buy my insulin. It seems like they categorized these the same way cause I picked up my insulin AND I got all my pins (3 boxes of slin, 100 18Gpins, and 100 25Gpins w/syringes) FREE. I dont know if the system worked or some body totally f'ed up but Im happy about it.
