Title: Nepro - Medicare
Post by: chatrbee2 on August 11, 2011, 08:31:04 PM
Does anyone know if medicare pays anything at all towards Nepro?  My father has a hard time eating so we are able to get him to suppliment with Nepro.  Since he started it has went up in price and I had heard that maybe medicare would pay towards it.  Then someone said maybe only if it was through a feeding tube.  I can't get a definate, but I know they don't qualify for the help they offered at dialysis.  They are just above the income level for assistance through the dialysis clinic. 

Thanks in advance
