A member asked:
Does insurance typically cover for off label use of the med? for example, lovaza for inflammation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends ....: Off label use of a medication is definitely between the patient and the physician. However, payment of such medications may be scrutinized by your insurance company as they will only cover if it is medically necessary and if it is fda approved for that purpose.
