In this episode we’re discussing vitamins and what insurance coverage looks like for them. IV vitamin therapy is beneficial to your health for so many reasons, but some types may be covered and some may not. Additionally, hospitals also have very specific policies and protocols about what they will offer, and typically they do not offer IV vitamin therapy.
Hospitals often cite a lack of scientific evidence for IV vitamin therapy. Yet the truth is that there is actually more scientific support for the vitamins administered during IV therapy than there is for any drug administered in any hospital.
Vitamins support healthy immune function, normal cell function, and DNA synthesis. Drugs are not designed to do this. Drugs can alter and destroy DNA, but only the vitamins, nutrients, and hormones we have support healing. Insurance companies look at vitamins as not medically necessary, yet many hospitalized patients are too sick to eat and therefore do need this nutritional support.
I often get asked if vitamins are covered by health insurance, and the answer is always no. Vitamins are considered dietary aids, which puts them outside of the realm of medical interventions. If you’re interested in IV vitamin therapy, you’re best off seeking it out at a clinic that supports their patients through additional measures outside of traditional western medicine.
Patients in our clinic always go through a consultation process, and as a part of this process, they are asked to bring in their vitamins. Once we review their blood test results, we personalize their vitamin packs based on what they actually need. IV vitamin therapy can play an extremely important role in reaching your optimal health.
