I just found out that i can save almost 60% on my needles for my pump by buying them online in the USA
now they need a dr prescription... does anyone know how i can get one (i live like 5 minutes away from the border but i need some help
Tags:
does NOT work for folks living in BC ...one's connection is the Pharmacy only !! ...so one receives Pharmacare coverage ...I don't know the whole story , other than US folks buy from Canadian Pharmacies ...interesting to say the least !!
PS are you referring to Infusion sets ( which you called needles for your pump ???) ??

Permalink Reply by Theo Pella on October 23, 2012 at 6:20pm I would start by calling a few Doctor offices in the town you want to buy them from. Explain that you are a Canadian citizen and looking for a prescription for your pump supplies. A Doctors appointment will cost you $100+ but once you have a prescription you can order them from any pharmacy.
