Hello, I take Vitamin C 50 GMs Three times a week. My insurance covers this whole thing. I used to be the one giving the IVs as I worked there as a nurse and the insurance didn't cover it. Our office manager was savvy enough to find the right CPT code in the Medicare book. If it's covered by medicare, it is covered by many other insurances. I have a very good insurance, Blue Cross of AZ, PPO. I have done this regularly for about one month. Before that it was irregular. My local MD is an Internist who has a great interest in complementary medicine. I didn't mean to imply that taking antioxidants was "bad", just that certain ones interfere with standard chemotherapy and that this IV can do the same, depending on what chemotherapy you may be on. The entire ingredients are in the last message. I wish you good luck!
Hi,
I have cancer and have just started the Vitamin C IV's. Can you tell me what the proper CPT code is so the Dr. I am seeing can submit it to my insurance company? So far they are unsure what code to use. I appreciate your help.
