Diasend will probably be approved as part of the vibe approval, or in conjunction with it."

Joe White replied to MegaMinxX's discussion 'CES 2013 - Dexcom G5 on smartphone' in the group Dexcom Users"It is an Android phone, because Android lets you decide if you want to install apps from 'Unknown Sources', like Amazon Appstore, or the app developers website, etc. You can also install apps from the SD Card.

Joe White replied to MegaMinxX's discussion 'CES 2013 - Dexcom G5 on smartphone' in the group Dexcom Users"It is an Android phone, because Android phones allow you to install apps from non-market sources, like Amazon appstore, while Apple only allows you to install from their approved iTunes apps. Androind also lets you install from the sd card."
Joe White replied to woolds's discussion 'Animas Vibe in the US' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"I don't think it will take all that long assuming that Animas has already submitted the required paperwork to the FDA. 1. The pump part is basically the ping without the meter remote, because the FDA doesn't allow digital multiplexing, so…"
Joe White replied to Jeff Dempsey's discussion 'Animas Ping Release date guesses for USA' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"My guess is the 1st or 2nd quarter of 2013. I would hope that they held informal talks with the FDA, saying the pump is like the 2020 or one touch ping without the remote control. We will be using the Dexcom G4 cgm, which you need to approve before…"
Joe White replied to Lynn's discussion 'BlueCross Insurance declares DexCom "out of network"' in the group Dexcom Users"I think it depends which BCBS plan you have, out of 100's if not 1000's, I called mine and they are still preferred DME suppliers"
Joe White replied to manoah's discussion 'Dexcom G4' in the group Dexcom Users"Wrong, it has been approved in the US, Check out http://www.tudiabetes.org/group/dexcomusers/forum/topics/u-s-fda-approves-the-dexcom-g4-tm-platinum-continuous-glucose or go to dexcom.com"
Joe White replied to Joe White's discussion 'Ball park cost' in the group Dexcom Users"The BCBS plan probably negotiates one national price. The difference between the hundreds if not thousand types of plans is the copay/coinsurance/deductible as far as DME is concerned. There is also differences in pharmacy benefits, dental etc. I…"
Joe White replied to Joe White's discussion 'Ball park cost' in the group Dexcom Users"When I talked with Dexcom, to try and get just ball park numbers, one thing that I was told is that there are currently no insurance prices for the G4 sensors (my guess is too new) They would not tell me anything else. According to them you have to…"
Joe White replied to Joe White's discussion 'Ball park cost' in the group Dexcom Users"I am not diabetic, my son is. He did not want to use it because of the receiver. Not enough pocket room. He uses the Animas Ping pump (7th person to use it) and it is either just out of warranty, or about to go out. With Dexcoms G4 approval by the…"

do you use the dexcom seven plus?"
Kristina replied to Joe White's discussion 'Ball park cost' in the group Dexcom Users"I have BCBS (Blue Choice). These are covered under my plan as Durable Medical Equipment.

Ball park cost
Can anybody help,With the recent approval of the G4 sensor, I am taking a guess that the fda will approve the animas vibe sometime before the end of next year. I am trying to get a ball park price on sensores and tranmitters. My insurance is currently BCBS, so if you have BCBS can you please give me an idea on your cost and what your copay percentage is.ThanksJoe WhiteSee More
