Can I legally sell my diabetic test strips?

Yes!

Well the answer is yes! There are many reasons why diabetics keep extra diabetic test strips at home. Some people switch meters because their doctor recommends a different brand. Each brand of test strips must be used with its own meter.

Others simply reduce the number of tests per day or perhaps they are no longer considered diabetic. There is also the possibility that they have lost a loved one in their home who was diabetic and there are many leftover boxes.

Not testing as often can result in a large overstock of boxes. So what can you do with all the extra boxes you have now? Well, you can throw them away or sell them for cash!

You may be wondering if selling them is even legal. Yes, the strips are an over-the-counter product. They can be purchased without a prescription at many drug stores, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS, etc.

The only strips that cannot be sold are those that have been supplied by Medicaid or Medicare. These are government-run programs that prohibit the resale of test strips.

But I have a prescription for my strips from my health insurance company. Is it okay to sell these? Yes, you can sell them as long as there are no labels that mention Medicaid or Medicare.

So now that you have all the information on selling your diabetic test strips, you may be wondering where you can sell them. There are companies that will buy your boxes and send you a check, money order for payment through PayPal (you must have an account).

When selling the boxes there are certain things that you should keep in mind.

Boxes must be factory sealed and not expired. I know many people have told me that they use strips that have passed their expiration date, but selling them is a different story. When you sell your boxes, the ones with an expiration date of 1 year or more will earn you the most money.

The boxes must be in good condition to get the most money. Some buyers will not accept dented, dirty and broken boxes.

I bet you are wondering how much they can pay you for your test strips. Pricing ranges from $ 3.00 to $ 40.00 per box and depends on count, brand, and expiration date.

Some of the brands that get the most money are Freestyle Lite and Accu-Check Aviva Plus.
