Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm talking to my insurance tomorrow. Good to have a sense of how this works.

part B will cover them if you surgeon shows medical necessity. it has to be appealed, usually. They deny the first couple times. Bariatic advantage and opurity

Also appealed and got private insurance to reimburse those same ones based on medical necessity, but I had to appeal and appeal and appeal again.
make sure the precription is for exactly the kind we can absorb...if they write it for "vitamin D" the pharmacy will typically fill a oil based prescription. Which we don't absorb as well. It has to say "dry vitamin D" etc
