Subject: [QUAD-L] AXIS Healthcare &
Magic Bullet/Bisacodyl 10MG Suppositories availability
AXIS Healthcare ( http://www.axishealth.com/aboutus/mission.html ) only works with disabled individuals
in the five County Metro area of Minneapolis Minnesota. The program only
got started like two or three years ago as a kind of experiment/demo/example
and is just beginning to grow more now, but is still not very big. It is
part of a bigger alternative Health care
coverage option the State of Minnesota has been doing for people on
Medicare/Medicaid, etc. including seniors. Basically operating and
managing it more like a private insurance company with its own Board of
Trustees, etc. (http://www.ucare.org/) Hopefully
both programs in the future it can be used as an example for other states
and on a broader scale. At this time, AXIS Healthcare is still working
out all the details in terms of best ratios of nurse liaisons to clients, etc.
at least as of maybe five or six months ago when I talked to Christopher Duff, their
President/CEO. The ziplock bag that the suppositories come in is labeled:
"Bisacodyl 10MG Suppositories". As
far as I understand they are the Magic Bullet or the same thing anyway,
water-soluble suppositories and they do work much faster and better. I
get them from from Geritom Med Inc. (952-854-1190), the locals pharmacy
here that delivers. Since they deliver, I can imagine they would have no
problem shipping product as long as they got a prescription and payment,
etc. When my doctor prescribed them, there was no question about
coverage from insurance anyway. Maybe it's just a matter of finding a
doctor that is willing to prescribed them?

Bullet
They won't compound them here for me because they don't want to get the
ingredients if I am the only one that wants them. I can't get them
covered in insurance. Oh, Mark can you tell us more about that
program? cost? can people sign up for it still? Thanks in
advance.

I get them without a problem
from a pharmacy here in Minneapolis. They are even covered and come
with all my other prescriptions each month. I work with an
alternative program to medical assistance called Axishealth Care for
individuals with disabilities that was established by the State of
Minnesota a few years ago as an experimental program. They seem much
more willing to cover things normal medical assistance would not
cover.
I'M ALL FOR
IT!

Maybe, just maybe if all of
us contacted them, they may be willing to adjust their price a little
bit. I think there are quite a bit of people on this list that
use that product. What the hell, I've never used the magic
bullet, but I'd be willing to write or call them. They may
change their tune if they think they are going to lose a market as big
as us. We do have the numbers.
