My insurance will not cover any of these two items. My Urilogist office manager is helping me file an appeal. Pump is $400 and pills $10 so out of pocket does not seem like a good idea.

    Capt,

    I cannot believe Ins will not cover these items. As for me I have never had any experience with the pump. I have heard it does work, although if you have not tried the ED drugs I would try them first.

    The Dr did tell me that a person should not eat a heavy meal or greasy one such as hamburgers or the result would not be satisfactory. Some people have indicated a headache from taking the drugs, but I would think that would be a small price to pay.

    Good luck,

    Roger

    I know a man who has an extra never used pump who gets them free thru veterans administration and he might be willing to sell it pretty reasonably priced. I had insurance once but it did not cover the pills and in my case they do not help much so I have just given up trying which is not the end of the world. Let me know if you might be interested and I will try to help you. Good luck. Mark

    Hi Capt. The pump doesn't work for me. I found that Muse works better. I'll send you the pump for free if you want it. Ron

    When you get your check-ups, ask your Doc for some samples. My Dr has given me Viagara, Cialis every time I see him.
