Recently I have noticed a slight bulge in the amount of medical supplies I am carrying, which has slowly increased over the past few years. I have a few extra, unopened containers of Enemeez (liquid enemas, 30/pack) which I received through my medical supply dealer. I know that Enemeez are sold over-the-counter w/o needing a prescription (and therefore can be resold), but because I originally obtained these supplies via my medical/no-fault auto insurance, would reselling these containers be illegal?

I do not want to break the law, and thought I should first ask for advice.

Thanks.

I'm not a lawyer, but as long as you're not doing it on a regular basis, I don't see a problem with it. It's better than if they were to get thrown out.

I think who cares...insurance companies make so much money why shouldn't someone be able to use what you have and don't need.
I know I will always have a seat:)

I don't see a problem unless you say you are taking herbal cannabis for medical reasons then selling bars of it on the street corner lol

Yeahhhh I share the same opinions as you guys, but I still wonder if it's legal, or if anyone could confirm its illegality? I suppose it varies by state, too.

I live in Michian and had Citizens auto insurance at the time of my accident (and on my parent's medical insurance: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan). From what I'm told by my medical supplies provider there are three separate 'packages' to choose from (essentially small, medium, large). A few years ago I was on large, but now I am on the medium-size amount of supplies (less waste) per month.

Anyways, if anyone knows any additional information, or can act as a guide toward finding this information, I'd be extremely grateful.
