My warranty was up last summer.
Four years.
My doctor advised not to even try pushing paper through the insurance co because the warranty was not totally gone. Once it was, he filled out papers for me. I still got the runaround. The HMO said your pump is working and when it dies, you can quickly obtain a new pump. I sent an appeal stating no, you cannot obtain one quickly. It takes about a month.
And I didnt want to go on shots. My appeal of the HMO denial (Yes, it was first denied) crossed in the mail with another letter which was an acceptance letter.
Sheesh.
It sure takes persistence.
And yes, I kept my old pump and some supplies for that pump on hand for any future breakdowns.
