Affordable Ostomy Supplies - Seeking Advice

The topic at hand is about finding more affordable sources for ostomy supplies. A 56-year-old woman is currently purchasing her supplies from Edgepark but finds the prices to be quite high. She is seeking advice on how to reduce her out-of-pocket expenses and recalls seeing some cost-saving tips in a newsletter but can't find them on the forum. Here are some helpful suggestions from the community:

1. Use the forum’s navigation tools. By selecting "Ostomy Products" in the “Jump to:” drop-down menu, you can find many discussions on how to obtain supplies at lower prices.

2. Visit www.ostogroup.org. This is a non-profit distributor that offers supplies at significantly reduced prices, often about 50% less than typical suppliers. They provide items like faceplate wafers, hydrocolloid EAKIN SEALS, and reusable clip-on ostomy pouch bags, which can be especially beneficial for those with limited or no insurance coverage.

3. Check out the charity retailer at http://www.goodhealthwill.org/. They offer donated ostomy items at reduced prices, which can be a great way to save money on necessary supplies.
