Next time have them pee in the cup and send them the code for the old Dip stick instead so they don't give you and your sis the old dip stick like this... lol

Are you sure about this? I mean this is such a standard in office procedure. How else is your sis supposed to know the patient's sugars to then take appropriate action. Send a copy to State AG Coumo. He seems to be on a mission to make the carriers's lives a bit difficult. It's about time too. And call your provider rep and drive them nuts on this. Hey why not deny Rapid Streps too. We'll just write antibiotics in the blind since they won't pay. This is a valid test to then lead to appropriate treatment. Don't let them off the hook.

Wayne, I've got to quickly run an errend and then I want to try and finally give you a buzz. Talk to you soon, OK??? If not have a great weekend.....
