Just a FYI that medicare will provide a PT/INR home meter for self testing if you are on Warfarin/Coumadin and meet certain conditions.

I had a bilateral pulmonary embolism two years ago as a result of deep vein thrombosis in my right leg[FONT=arial, sans-serif], and was within hours of check out when I arrived at the ER. They had mistreated me for [/FONT]pneumonia for ten days.
Having my own meter, the freedom to travel and do a self test every two weeks is nice. I report my results to a company call Alere with smart phone application and they pass the results to my clinic. All supplies are also provided by medicare and reordered via the smart phone app.
