Dear Liberty Patients:
We know that living with Diabetes can be a challenging daily struggle of ensuring you eat right, exercise and testing your blood glucose in accordance with your Doctor’s prescription. The last thing you need is confusion about where you can get your important testing supplies and we, at Liberty, know that.
That is why we are here to set the record straight and give you the facts. Below are a few commonly asked questions about what you may have seen or heard about Liberty and Bayer.
Can I still get my diabetes testing supplies from Liberty?
Absolutely! Just like we have done for the last 20 years, Liberty is here to provide you with a large selection of top-of-the-line diabetes testing supplies from leading manufacturers, including LifeScan®, Roche® and Abbott®.
Can I still get diabetes testing supplies manufactured by Bayer® Diabetes Care from Liberty?
That depends on your insurance company. Unexpectedly, Bayer terminated one of our direct purchasing agreements with them in July 2011. The decision to terminate this agreement is not related to our excellent service to you, our patient. If you would like to know if you can still receive Bayer testing supplies from Liberty, please call us at 1-877-354-7377 for Medicare beneficiaries or 1-800-269-2434 for those with Commercial insurance.
If I receive Bayer products today from Liberty can I get a new meter from Liberty with my next order?
Yes! We will offer you a FREE state-of-the-art meter with your next order. Our meters offer no-code technology, large displays, alternative site testing, and low blood sample amounts. What is even better, if you select the Liberty® II state-of-the-art meter, we will give you a second TRUE2go® travel-size meter also at no cost to you or your insurance company. That is two meters FREE! The best part is the strips work with both meters, so you never have to wonder if you have the right meter or strips with you.
Why is Bayer advertising that I cannot get my testing supplies from Liberty?
We, at Liberty, cannot answer that question as Bayer did not consult with us before communicating this information to the public. As a result, a broad message was published without consideration for our ability to provide our patients with the supplies they need.
If you still have questions, or would like to see if you qualify for a FREE diabetes meter, please call us at 1-877-354-7377 for Medicare beneficiaries or 1-800-269-2434 for those with Commercial insurance.
Best in Health,
Liberty Medical Supply
