Insurance pays for nutritional supplements



Recommended Posts

My understanding is the insurance may pay for nutritional supplements. You should check your plan for requirements. The supplements would have to be designated as a medical necessity. There should be a form that your insurance has you complete and and sign by your doctors office my understanding this is a one time certification.

There is a company that my nutritionist told me about... He said if I asked my doctor to write a prescription for me, many insurances covered it. It's a mailed prescription service... I'll see if I can find it. However, I found a suitable chewable Multivitamin at Walgreens and Walgreens usually has their Vitamins on a 3 month 'buy one, get one free' rotation.

I have $25 but since I'm revision I got very used to all my old Vitamins and supplements. I'm willing to give it a month but pretty much know I will go back to my old stuff. Not big on the B12 nasal spray or taste of new ones

Is it true about insurance paying for nutritional supplements? I have been seeing the advertisment on this app

I use Insure Nutrition. Each month I get 2 cases of premier Protein, Multivitamin, B12 and folic acid. Everything is covered 100% by my insurance. Check them out! I really like them.
