Prodigy Diabetes Care – The New #1 for Medicare Diabetes Mail-Order Testing Supplies
February 2017
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – According to a recent report released by the DHHS Office of the Inspector General1 (IOG), Prodigy Diabetes Care is the new #1 brand for Medicare diabetes mail-order testing supplies for the period July through September 2016.

This report is part of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) diabetes test strips provision under the National Mail-Order Program. The OIG analyzed Medicare market share percentages of mail-order diabetes testing strips from July through September 2016 to support CMS in evaluating the next round of bids. It was found that sampled suppliers submitted claims for 18 types of mail-order diabetes test strips. The top strip brand, Prodigy Diabetes Care, accounted for 43 percent of the Medicare mail-order market and the top 10 strip types accounted for 98 percent. The second most popular brand of test strip used during this time-period was Lifescan, which had 240% less volume than the Prodigy test strip.

When asked for the reason behind these changes in market share between the traditional big four diabetes test strip manufacturers, Lifescan, Roche, Bayer, and Abbott, Prodigy President, Rick Admani, said that “diabetes test supplies have been commanding a very high price for many years. Now, with the diabetes population growing at a very fast rate and extra cost pressures coming, the government and private health plans don’t have the money to continue as they have been. The big four diabetes manufacturing companies are having trouble, with their current business models, staying competitive. Prodigy Diabetes Care, a growing publicly traded company, was founded by two Engineers and their business model was based upon Lean Six-Sigma practices. They focus on producing quality products with all manufacturing done in-house. Prodigy’s focus, in all aspects of their business, is upon lean, efficient business operations which enable them to make high quality products at a low cost and pass the savings on to their distributions partners and the end user.
