Makes you wonder why a tube is expensive.

I think it was TDC
Just like anything else that is medical. They know that you have to have it so they can put a hefty price on it and get away with it.

So if someone was in the market for a catheter how much would be we talking for a base model?
The cheap ones are $1.00 each. A person under doctor orders uses a minimum of 4 a day. The nicer ones are $2.89 each; by nicer ones I mean they come ready to use. If you get the cheap ones you have to buy other supplies that go with them. That is if you do not go through a distributor and buy them online.

That would cost me a fortune, especially if I was drinking beer.
Yep, It costs $1,056 a month for 120 of them! That is the better model. LOL

What do you need to get a "cheap" one "ready to use"?

Wait a minute, you said a cheap one costs a buck. 4X a day for 31 days is $124. Even if you go with the fancy one $2.89 X4 per day for 31 days is $358.36.
A cheap one doesn't have the proper "stuff" on it that should have before being used.

Correct, when you go through a distributor "like through the ads you were referring to" they send all the supplies "prep kits" you need to go along with them and they bill the insurance company and all so it's much higher when using them.

So if you buy them on your own they cost about $350 a month, if you go through insurance they are $1,000?

Well if you had to pee at 1am going to the doctor would be inconvenient.
