    General Information: NC Providers

     

    Summary: Why?

     

     

    Starting November 15, 2009, the State of NC changed the brand of diabetes supplies Medicaid members have to use.  They chose Prodigy® because of its high quality and cost effectiveness.  The Prodigy AutoCode® actually talks in English or Spanish (this feature can be turned off) is very accurate and requires No Coding.  All Medicaid members must begin using this meter right away.

     

    Who is Prodigy?

     

    Prodigy® has one of the highest quality products on the market today.  We’re a high-tech company based in Charlotte, NC, and manufacture easy-to-use, English/Spanish talking blood glucose meter systems (the talking can be turned off) with No Coding needed.  Our accuracy meets or exceeds all of our competitors and we are one of the few manufacturers not affected by the GDH-PQQ issue.

     

    Who’s affected?

     

    All Medicaid members must use Prodigy® brand monitors and supplies after November 15, 2009.  Members that have Medicare or third party insurance as well do not have to change, but Prodigy® is available to them as well.  Retail and DME’s must bill with specific NDC’s for Prodigy® in order to be reimbursed.

     

    What’s affected?

     

    All blood sugar testing supplies must be Prodigy®, primarily the Prodigy AutoCode®.  This includes the meter, test strips, control solutions and syringes, if necessary.  Specific NDC’s are available for ordering.

     

    When?

     

    Effective November 15, 2009.  The State sent out an email blast October 12 and is sending out provider and member letters on Friday, October 16.

     

    How do I get supplies?

     

    Prodigy® meters, test strips, control solutions, lancets and syringes may be ordered directly through Prodigy® or purchased through a distributor i.e. McKesson, AmerisourceBergen, etc.

     

    What is the Cost

     

    Due to specific reimbursement guidelines from the State, suppliers must bill with Prodigy® NDC numbers as well as purchase at one single rate for the entire state. The State wants a level playing field for all providers regarding the cost.
