I would caution you to be sure you are using a supplier that is certified for this with your insurance and who is legally a medical supply dealer in the specific state. Otherwise they may not be able to do your billing for you, and will need payment up front, leaving you to struggle with your insurance company. You may want to get a list from your insurer before you start looking.

I pay for my supplies so insurance is not an issue.

Fuente, curious as to why you are switching - price, service, or something else? Thanks.

Hawk...I get mine from express medical online www.expmed.net . They have everything from lubes, gloves, wipes, catheters, etc. Their customer service is great and delivery is always on time. They take all major insurance as well as medicare.

i like to give up and comers a shot. if they screw up ill go back to uromed. but thus far they seem very good. uromed is great but they have gotten big. jeff and live well arent doing anything more than uromed, they are just more hands on. we shall see. i didnt close my acct w/ uromed, just havent ordered lately. .

I use them, very fast delivery (I've received orders in as little as 2 days, St. Louis to Roanoke, VA.).
