I've been with Burman Medical since my urostomy in February 2021. I've tried multiple Coloplast pouching systems since, and they've always stocked those. I requested free samples from ConvaTech and a few days ago, discovered one of the samples (a two piece, with a moldable skin barrier) met my needs better than any of the pouches I tried before. Today I called Burmans to see if they carried these pieces and although they carry the pouch itself, they don't carry the moldable skin barrier. I ordered some off of both Ebay and Amazon, but I can't possibly afford to pay for them out of pocket in the future. I'm on Medicare and they pay for all my ostomy supplies now. Has anyone else who's on Medicare changed their supplier? If so, how do you do it? I'm at a loss.
