costs of insuline, more or less:
accu-check testing meter - 3.500 pesos
a box of 50 strips - 1.500 pesos
insulina novolin (70/30, n 100, r 100) - 850 pesos
flexpen - 700 pesos, a box 3.500
lantus solustar - 750 pesos
lantus 100UI - 1.900 pesos
instituto de diabetes y nutricion in POP is actually just down the street from our pharmacy and i have been there myslef delivering medicine they order. the address is avenida isabel de torres 52, fairly close to the hospital. their phone is 809 261 0446.
campesina:
you may not know how things work in eastern europe. in poland (and i presume ukraina must be similar) everyone who works legally has a compulsory government insurance. this insurance covers doctors visits, medical procedures and medicine itself. the coverage is exactly the same whether you make one million dollars a month or one hundred. and why should it be different? both one million dollar and one hundred dollars dudes work and contribute to the sociaty with taxes. they should be treated equaly.
now, jessica wanted to know, i suppose, if the case was the same here in DR and it is not.
pib:
methinks that all insurance companies offer coverage for medicine, even with private insurance. it may not be included in a basic plan but check more expensive options.
