Insurance covered vitamins?

Hi there! Has anyone had any luck with their insurance paying for Vitamins or supplements after surgery?

I have. My surgeon prescribed the B12 nasal spray for once a week and I also get my Bariactiv Iron, Multi-Vitamin and Calcium + D3 & Magnesium for free. They are chewables and taste horrible if I do chew them. I am able to suck on them and they are much more tolerable. I figure I can put on my big girl panties and deal with the taste in order to save over $70 a month in Vitamins.

Why should they? Everyone should take some form of Vitamin.

Ah but that would mean insurance was doing something to help us instead of existing only for the frustration quotient. Nice is not in the first name of any plan I ever encountered.

Nope, mine doesn't cover Vitamins.

I tried those. It's crazy but my insurance will be a $600 copay for the direct mail from the drug manufacturer but would only charge me $60 if I go through their mailing service. But, if I go with that, I dont get the vitamins with the nasal spray. Boo!

They should. Here's why: the cost of treating a malnourished, sick person is far greater than Multivitamins.< br>
