Reply to "Medicare coverage for VSL #3 DS?"

@Mrs P posted:

This is interesting Scott F. I have been taking VSL #3 for years and have never thought to see if my Carefirst Ins might pay for it. Originally it was $44.99 now it is up to $64.99 for a bottle of 60 capsules.

I will be asking for an RX for sure!

It can be hard to find a pharmacy that can get the prescription-strength VSL #3 - I get it at Sam’s Club pharmacy (you don’t have to be a member to use the pharmacy). CareFirst doesn’t make it easy to get coverage. I pay in full at the pharmacy and then mail an old fashioned “Major Medical Claim Form” along with the receipt to my contact at CareFirst. It’s likely to be an administrative challenge to get them to provide such a contact, but they have a written medical policy (I could send you a copy) supporting the coverage. Private message me with any questions - I’d be happy to help.
