No promise on a sales page can tell you what your own health plan will pay.
Short answer
Questions that produce a usable answer
- What exact service or product will appear on the bill sent to the plan?
- Is the quote for care, tests, medicine or all of them?
- Is prior permission from the plan required?
- What written reason will the plan give if it says no?
Do not let coverage language change product status
A compounded medicine remains unapproved even when a licensed pharmacy made it.
Whether a plan pays is a money decision. It is not an FDA approval, and it is not proof from studies that the product works.
Keep this line
Ask the plan directly and ask for the answer in writing; treat that answer as a payment decision, not a scientific verdict.
