Okay , the first part is: Did you get a letter from Laps for Cystic Fibrosis about making a CF family network?

And second: Do you use Foundation Care for meds, eFlow, etc. or Pharmaceutical Specialties, Inc.? Are they the same thing, basically? (since Source cf is an Alabama company? Or does that not matter?)

Dont know anything about Laps for CF, Sorry! As far as FOundation Care. I know Amy uses them and they are on my list for next time I fill Tobi, Colisitin or if I go back on HS. I like the fact that have the Colistin & HS premixed and charge the insurance company in the same manner so if you have one form covered they will get the other covered because its the chemical compound they are billing for. Amy (and others I am sure) who have actually dealt with them already I am sure will help.

I have not got a letter about Laps for CF and I get my sons meds through our local pharmacy and his equipment through Medical Resources. We go to Childrens Hospital here in B'ham for his clinic appts. Is the Laps for CF for everyone with cf in Alabama or for the adults with cf?

If you are in Alabama, Foundation Care will not provide you with the eFlow. They are under contract to serve geographically, so Pharma Specialties will be your eFlow people. No room for wiggle in that matter.

In terms of if they are the same thing - I'm not sure. I've only experienced Foundation Care because of my geogaphy. But PS has the eFlow, and that's what you're after, so you shouldn't be worried.

Here's a link to Laps for CF: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.lapsforcf.org/

</a>
It is a swimming fundraiser started by a cf patient named Emily Schreiber. The letter is for everybody. She is starting it since most of the cf families don't know each other, especially after the new privacy laws. Mine came addressed from Children's Hospital, even though I am a patient at the UAB adult clinic. I did send in paperwork for something (eludes me now) for the Alabama cf something or 'nother (it's a slow brain morning...) from the CHA a couple of years ago, so that's probably why I was sent it this time.

The letter isn't for $ for the fundraiser; it's just to get an Alabama cf network started... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Thanks, Amy, that's what I thought. I must not have mentioned where I was from in my email to Foundation Care ??? I thought I did, but oh well, now I know who to talk to... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">


Melissa- ah, that part about the billing makes me feel better about the insurance coverage. I had wondered about that, but didn't know exactly the question I should be asking <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">
