Is it Legal to Sell Your Diabetic Test Strips?
Is it legal to sell your diabetic test strips?
Absolutely!
Anyone can buy unused glucose test strips, even without a prescription, so as long as you bought the test strips yourself, had them given to you as a gift, or received them legally through an insurance company, you are free to sell them.
Diabetic test strips can be bought over the counter at places like drug stores, pharmacies, Wal-Mart – and it is 100% legal to resell over the counter products. Even if your boxes are marked “mail order only” or “not for retail” you can still sell them – this just means they can’t be sold through a retailer.
Bear in mind that if your boxes were received from Medicare or Medicaid, and are marked as such (they usually have a red band at the bottom with the words “For the Use of Medicare/Medicaid Beneficiaries Only” printed on them) those boxes cannot be resold.
