Inspection Process

What happens during a diabetic supply inspection?

A transparent walkthrough of receiving, matching, condition review, eligibility checks, adjustments, and payment.

Direct answer: We match the delivered package to the quote, count every sealed item, verify the exact model and identifier, confirm expiration dates, inspect factory seals and packaging, review labels and restrictions, then approve the amount or explain any adjustment before payment.

Inspection protects both sides: it confirms that the package received is the package described and creates a documented basis for the final amount.

The seven inspection stages

  1. Delivery intake: record carrier status and package arrival.
  2. Shipment condition: photograph obvious crushing, moisture, tears, or tampering.
  3. Quantity match: compare received sealed boxes with the submitted quantity.
  4. Product match: verify model, REF/NDC, pack count, and package type.
  5. Date review: confirm expiration and pricing tier.
  6. Condition and label review: inspect seals, writing, stickers, and distribution restrictions.
  7. Final disposition: approve, adjust, or reject with an explanation.

What counts as a matching product?

The brand name alone is not enough. The product must match the quoted model, REF or NDC, pack count, expiration group, and package variant. For example, Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus are not interchangeable; OmniPod 5 and DASH are separate systems.

Factory-seal inspection

We check shrink wrap, adhesive seals, tamper evidence, flaps, and any manufacturer closure. A box can look clean while still having a broken or reattached seal. Opened, resealed, or altered packages are not treated as factory sealed.

Condition grading

ConditionExamplesLikely outcome
CleanMinor shelf wear, readable labels, intact cornersUsually no condition adjustment
AdjustableModerate dents, label residue, creasing that does not affect sealsPossible reduced amount
IneligibleOpened seal, water damage, crushed contents, altered dates, missing identifiersRejected

Label and restriction review

We look for sample, NFR, institutional, hospital, government-program, Medicare/Medicaid, or other restrictive wording. Personal prescription labels are not automatically disqualifying, but they must not cover the product identity, expiration, or distribution status.

Why a quote may be adjusted

What happens if there is an adjustment?

We explain what changed and provide the revised amount before payment. Supporting photos or identifier details may be shared when helpful. You should review the revised amount rather than assuming the original estimate is guaranteed.

How sellers can make inspection faster

Payment timing

Approved payments are sent the same day after inspection. Carrier delivery time and inspection completion are separate events; a package marked delivered may still be in the intake queue before inspection is finished.
