fwiw, my wife uses Freestyle Libre 3 and the with-insurance cost every two weeks is about $40. Whenever she's had one fail (which seems to be about 1:10), Abbott has replaced it free of charge and sent a pre-paid label so she can return the failed device for QA review.
- salawat 3y agoWorked at a PBM. Interesting factoid. The FreeStyle Libre 3 has a lower ongoing out of pocket cost for people who just need diagnotic monitoring but no integration with a pump. Dexcom , however, offered rebates that made it cheaper in initial outlay by the PBM to get people using, then left them paying the higher upkeep costs for functionality they may never need. Something to keep in mind. Your insurer doesn't optimize for you. They optimize for them.
- coldpie 3y agoYeah, I feel like prices are on a downward trend the last couple years, which is great. For me personally, I try to spend absolutely as little time and effort as possible thinking about my diabetes. So having to call the manufacturer or fill out forms and receive a package (more waste) and ship a thing back (even more waste) is just too much time and effort for me to want to bother. I hope they keep improving, it's cool tech and I'd like to like it. Just not there yet.
