Ben is covered under the Children Health Insurance Program of Texas. We have options of plan carriers to choose from.
In December the health care plan Ben is on forced all diabetes patients to switch to TRUEresults meters. Only 100 test strips a month of the approved test strips. NO consumer choice in meters. We switched to give it a try and HATE the new meter. Either you use their meter and strips or pay 100% out of pocket. Fortunately I found a 'loophole' and am able to switch health plans to one that still allows patient choice. (for now) We have heard of people being denied insulin pens. only allowed vials because pens are only for convenience.

We have to pay more for our supplies and have had to switch test strips because our preferred brand is now top tier. Of course that's all on top of higher premiums too.
