As of Aug 20, 2009 I faxed you an enrollment form (along with prescription, tax records, and medicaid denial letter, 6 pages in all)applying for finacial assistance for test strips. I have not heard anything from you since then. I am in need of immediate assistance. Please respond as to the standing of my application. I have tried your company by phone and cannot ever get a representative or receptionist. So I am trying you by email.
Please respond!!!
Thank You,
Mary Beth Barnett

Ms. Barnett,
Do you mean you sent this information to Abbott Pharmaceuticals? I’m afraid we are not affiliated with the pharmaceutical company, and so can’t help you with your request. Best of luck.
