Understanding if your insurance includes an out-of-pocket spending cap is important. Once this cap is reached, the insurance may cover 100% of additional expenses, which can significantly reduce costs for the remainder of the policy year. Negotiate with Providers.

Ostogroup in Florida may let you order things insurance does not cover but not bags if you have insurance. You just have to call and ask. I get my things all over the place.

Call other ostomy suppliers. Ask if they are experiencing the same insurance coverage issue. You can switch suppliers. I use Edgepark. Just received a shipment earlier this week from them. I always get 3 bottles of spray adhesive remover and 3 boxes of remover wipes. So far I've had no insurance trouble.
Their number is 866-834-7473. I used to use Byram, but when COVID started, they were doing the same and got lazy. Not filling my prescription, etc. I get my stuff 100% covered, and for 4 months, I had to pay totally out of pocket for my supplies, even with my caseworker from my insurance company working on them.
