Bariatric Vitamin home delivery good? Or No?

Hello everyone! I went to my surgeons checkup appointment today and I was given paper work for a company called Nascobal They are a bariatric pharmaceutical company that ships monthly vitamins to your home you get : vitamin b-12 nasal spray prescription strength, Multivitamin, Iron+ Vitamin C, and Calcium+ D3 with Magnesium. They will bill my insurance and I pay a co-pay of 20 dollars a month. I'm just wondering if anyone else has used this service, or knows anything about these specific bariatric vitamins? I know they are all chewable. My surgeon thinks it's a great program to get the right vitamins that He feels I need to have and of course you can't beat 20 bucks a month for all of it. Thank you in advance! I hope everyone is doing well :)

You're welcome! Let me know what they think.

You're welcome. I'd never heard of it either.

My NUT actually gave me this! I was going to do it but I no longer have any insurance. It would have cost me $25!

@@fit4life123 That's good to hear! Not the insurance part but that other people have been told about it. They did say co pay will depend on what insurance you have.

I know I personally spend more than that on my vitamin regimen a month so I don't mind paying a co-pay I just wonder how good the actual vitamins are. And I've never used a nose spray for my vit B-12.

I actually was given this same thing my my NUT. The greatest part is the nasal b-12 because it's only once a week and apparently is absorbed better than when taken in sublingual form. It's also so nice not to have to think about it, they will just send it to you and that way you never run out. I will say that I did not like the multivitamin and continue to take flinstones but I think the $20 is worth it just for the b12.

Update: I called this morning and my insurance approves it! My co-pay is actually 25 dollars but still great! @@sunflowerchild I didn't do the monthly shipment plan. I want to try them out for the first month first to see if I like them :)

Here's a number if anyone else is interested in calling to see if your insurance covers it. I have BCBS FEd

This is a great post. I am looking into Vitamin options now for after surgery. I wonder if any of the other major vitamin suppliers offer the same option to bill your insurance and only charge the co-pay?

@@Elode did you have to give them a prescription from your Dr.?
