WHEN CAN I EXPECT MY REFILL OF DIABETES SUPPLIES?

Depending on your insurance, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) supplies, insulin pump supplies, and testing supplies are refilled every 30 or 90 days. We will send you a refill notification via text or phone call (depending on your preference) a few days before your scheduled refill date to ensure that you have your supplies when you need them. You may also send a text message to (248)577-9903 when you have 10 days or less of pump supplies on hand OR when you place your last CGM sensor site.

How do I know when my prescription and authorization are set to expire?

Orders

CAN YOU BILL ME FOR MY ORDER?

Co-payments or deductibles must be remitted to Healthy Living prior to shipment. The most common form of payment is by credit card, but we also accept checks. For ease of future payments, ask an agent to have your credit card information securely stored in our system. Ask an agent to help you enroll in our patient payment portal where you can set up Autopayment for ease of future ordering.

HOW ARE ITEMS SHIPPED?

Our shipping service is noted for being fast, efficient, and reliable. Shipments go out the same day if the order is received and processed prior to 3:30 p.m. We utilize multiple carriers to ensure prompt and efficient delivery to your home. Tracking information is automatically sent out via email to customers with an email address on file. Provide your email address to an agent to receive automated email notifications with tracking information.

MAY I TRACK MY PACKAGE VIA email?

Yes, please make sure you have a valid email attached to your profile. You will receive a shipping confirmation email with the tracking number the evening your order goes out. If you don't receive this email, please contact us the next day. You may also send a text message with your name and the word "TRACK" to (248)577-9903 to track your order.

IF I RECEIVE MY ORDER AND OPEN MY PACKAGE, CAN I RETURN IT?

Healthy Living has a limited return policy on all unopened, unused supplies, excluding insulin pumps and CGMs. Shipment charges for returns are the responsibility of the customer. If you open any of your supplies, including insulin pump supplies and CGM supplies, they cannot be returned. Healthy Living does not accept returns on new insulin pumps and CGM systems.

WHY DID I RECEIVE A BILL FROM HEALTHY LIVING EVEN AFTER I PAID FOR MY ORDER?

Initial amounts collected are estimated based on a quote from your insurance company at the time the order is processed. While we make every effort to be as precise as possible up front, the insurance company may process the order differently than quoted, and additional payments may then be due after claims are finalized. Alternately, we will reimburse you or put a credit on your account for any overpayment.

CAN HEALTHY LIVING CHARGE INTEREST ON PAST DUE BILLS?

Because we accept co-payments at the time of the order, it is rare for a member to have a past due account.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACING AN INSURANCE-RELATED ORDER?

Once our agents acquire a prescription from your doctor and your insurance has been verified, you are ready to start receiving supplies. The process for getting started with an insulin pump and/or a CGM system may require additional steps, including an authorization approval from your insurance.

HOW DO REFILL NOTIFICATIONS WORK IF I HAVE BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD OR MEDICARE?

For Blue Cross Blue Shield and Medicare members, you’ll receive a refill notification letting you know that you have an order due. You may reply with one of the following options: APPROVE, DECLINE, or OTHER.

If you reply APPROVE, you will be asked if you have fewer than 10 days of supplies on hand. If you answer YES, you will receive a message validating your current shipping address. If this address is NOT correct or you have any other questions, please reply and an agent will get back to you as soon as possible.

If you reply NO when asked if you have fewer than 10 days of supplies on hand the system will respond with a question asking you to estimate how many days of supplies you have remaining. Please reply with the number of days so we can set up your supply order to go out accordingly.

If you reply DECLINE to the initial refill notification, the system will send you a message back saying we’ll move your order back a few weeks but that you may text us at any time if you need your supplies sooner. Please reply to this message if your doctor has changed or if you have a change of address.

If you reply OTHER to the initial notification you will be asked if you have a question or a comment. Please reply with your question or comment and an agent will follow up with you as soon as possible.

HOW DO REFILL NOTIFICATIONS WORK IF I HAVE A DIFFERENT INSURANCE BESIDES BLUE CROSS OR MEDICARE?

You’ll receive an initial refill notification where you are asked to respond with APPROVE, DECLINE, or OTHER.

If you reply APPROVE, you’ll receive a reply letting you know the street address we will ship the supplies to. If this street address is NOT correct please reply with the updated address information, including city, state and zip. You may also ask a question at this point and an agent will get back to you. For example, you may ask, “What supplies am I due for?” after approving your order, and an agent will respond.

If you reply OTHER to the initial notification, you will be asked if you have a question or a comment. Please reply with your question or comment and an agent will follow up with you as soon as possible.

MAY I TEXT A QUESTION OR COMMENT REGARDING MY ORDER EVEN THOUGH I DIDN’T RECEIVE A REFILL NOTIFICATION?

Yes, you may text us at (248)577-9903 at any time, keeping in mind that our Customer Care Team is available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.-6:00 p.m. EST, with limited after-hours and weekend support.

MAY I SUBMIT PAYMENT INFORMATION VIA TEXT MESSAGING?

No. While our text messaging system is encrypted and secure, we advise against submitting credit card information via texting. It is best to utilize our online, secure patient payment portal, or you may call us with your credit card information.

MAY I TEXT IN PICTURES?

Yes, it is often helpful for our members to text in photos of their meter, pump, or other supplies for troubleshooting purposes. You may also text in a photo of your insurance card if you change insurance providers. We also like baby photos :)

MAY I TEXT IN MY NEW ADDRESS OR CONTACT INFORMATION?

Absolutely - if you move or change phone numbers, please text the new information to us as soon as possible to make sure we are sending your supplies to the correct address.

HOW MANY DAYS BEFORE MY SCHEDULED ORDER DATE DO YOU SEND THE REFILL REMINDERS?

We typically send out text message notifications 2-4 days before your order is scheduled to ship out. Being a few days ahead allows us to ensure timely delivery of your supplies so you never run out. As a backup to this system, we encourage customers to text us at (248)577-9903 when they have 10 days of supplies remaining.

WHAT IF I RECEIVE A REFILL NOTIFICATION BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT SUPPLIES I’M DUE FOR?

The best option would be to reply OTHER to the initial refill text. The system will then prompt you for a question/comment. You may also do this by replying APPROVE to the initial refill notification, being sure to ask your question after you receive the street address verification text. Either way, an agent will respond to you with a breakdown of the supplies you are scheduled to receive and you may then pick and choose the ones you are in need of at this time.

WILL I BE CHARGED FOR TEXT MESSAGES?

Charges depend on your carrier and contract. Healthy Living will not be held responsible for charges incurred by your carrier for communications performed via SMS and text message. Please check your plan to ensure you have unlimited texting OR an ample number of monthly texts so you don’t incur costly charges.
