Running Low???

Are you finding that you are always running short on your child's diabetes testing supplies? This might happen if you are having to check your child's blood sugar more often or give more injections than the pharmacy label states. This could easily happen if your child has been sick or has been having irregular blood sugars. If your prescription isn't up to date with the most recent instructions from your doctor, call your Moye's Pharmacy and have them contact your physician to get updated prescriptions. Often, we as parents call our child's diabetes doctors and they might give us verbal instructions over the phone to test more frequently without the pharmacy receiving a new prescription stating that. This should prevent you from having to pay out of pocket for extra supplies at the end of the month if you are running low before it is time to fill your refill. We, your Moye's pharmacists, are more than happy to work with you and contact your child's doctor to make sure you have enough to get you through the month. We also are able to let your doctor know if they need to contact your insurance company to ensure the supplies you need each month are covered. For example, some children test up to 10 times per day meaning they need 300 strips a month. Most insurances require what is called a "prior approval" for that many strips. While we cannot guarantee your plan will cover the 300 strips needed, we can do everything on our end to ensure all steps are taken to try to get them covered through your plan.
