I have Great Lakes Health Plan and I cannot find a medical supplier that takes my insurance. I am completely out of supplies and the tools who answer the phones for my insurance company are apparently stupid. They keep giving me the same out of date info whenever i call. HELP!!!

Call your insurance and ask to speak to higher and higher people up the chain of command until you get someone who knows. Ask your doctor for samples until then.

The goal is to get a doctor to try the product in a surgical setting, for example, and be so satisfied with the performance of the product that he uses that brand for all of his surgeries. The hospital system where the surgeon practices must approve the medical equipment that is used there. Pricing of the products is also negotiated by the hospital. In some cases, physicians’ offices or hospitals may team up to form a group purchasing organization.
