Reply to "Pouch Scope went well; have questions"

The DS requires a prescription, and thus most insurance plans cover it (or can be wrestled into submission). In my experience it's always been at the highest deductible tier. I've given up on getting it by mail order with my current insurance. I can get them to agree, but the time investment just isn't worth it. So I just get it at the pharmacy now.

Some docs will write for the maximum dose (4 DS packets/day) even if you might take less. If your deductible is on a per month basis this can lower the cost considerably. At this point, though, you just need them to say "yes." I take the full four packets.
