I'm so mad at my insurance company

I'm out of testing strips for my glucose monitor and they said I can't refill until Monday so we either pay out of pocket or I skip two days of testing. 

I don't ever use extra strips--- just 4 a day like I'm supposed to do and now I'm completely out.  How have they calculated that I still have two days before I can refill?  Of course their customer service is closed on the weekends and I need the strips now so we're just going to pay the $54 for the strips.  So much bull cr@p. 

My prescription says Use as Directed so I don't get why they wouldn't refill and pay for it.  What if I was told to test after snacks or before meals because of issues.  I would run out even sooner.  

ETA: It's been 40 days since the original prescription and I've been given 37 days worth of strips.  The only reason I was able to go over by 3 days is because my monitor came with a box of 10 in it. 

Nevermind it was Wal-Marts screw up.  My husband spent like 1 1/2 hours waiting for them to figure out that they entered the prescription wrong.  They didn't apologize or anything, but at least we didn't have to pay out of pocket.

WOW!  Glad they found their mistake!
