Call the company and find out whether or not them sell the Prodigy Voice.

Some companies don't have it yet. If they do, send it back after they have

sent the correct meter.

Can I grumble?

I recently signed my partner up with a new provider here in the " Golden

State " for her testing supplies because she is on state Medi-Cal (Medicade)

as well as Medicare.

so where I got my ProdigyVoice is out of state and they might not take

state Medi-Cal (Medicade).

My complaint is that even though I asked specifically for the ProdigyVoice

they sent the Auto code instead. What is the next step in the grievance

process? Should I report this to DDI?

It seems that many of these product vendors don't have any Idea what the

needs of a blind diabetic is, and they could care less.

If you asked for the Voice, then that's what they owe you. It's unfortunate

since you have to go through the hassle of ordering another meter (the Voice)

and returning the wrong one, but you don't have much choice. One of the things

you learn with this disease is, when dealing with suppliers or vendors or so

called health professionals, you should always assume the other person hasn't a

clue what your talking about or what your needs are. There are some exceptions,

but most people just don't know.

Claud,

MediCal will provide only the Autocode. They have not yet approved the Voice.
