Re: ICD Code for Co Q-10 Help

[Guest guest]

, I'm not sure if you're asking about generic Co Q 10, or the

Q Gel form. The problem for me with my Blue Cross/Shield

company and Q Gel is, that to my knowledge and theirs, there

ISN " T a code, yet. I understand that once it gets FDA approval for

marketing (hopefuly this fall) it will then get the NDC #( I think that

stands for National Drug Code) that one needs to help get

insurance approval. Maybe someone else can give you further

info, but this is the info I believe I read coming out of the umdf

conference.

My Blue Cross steadfastly refuses to pay for an unapproved,

" experimental " drug, even with orphan status and docs

prescription, until it has been approved for marketing. As far as

generic Co Q 10, because that's classified as a nutritional

supplement, they won't pay for any vitamin type products, at least

not on my policy. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that

YOUR company and policy might not cover it, so I suggest you

GO FOR IT. All they can do is turn you down:-)

Best Wishes and Good Luck,

Anita

I don't have a code for CoQ, but these are the mito codes that are being

used. There may be more.

758.9 is mitochondrial myopathy

639.4 is metabolic myopathy

277.8 is metabolism disease - this is the one Cohen uses

My blue cross pays part of my Q-gel under durable medical goods, not as a

prescription.

Laurie, Tell me more about how you got them to do this pretty please! We

have 5,000 a year limit. But this will help us out for sure if they will help

pay for some of it.

Thanks

I'm wondering, the Epic4health website has listed NDC #'s (for the

chewable and the liquid). I didn't look up the tablet form.

-The ChewQ® 100mg NDC Number is: 54023-9008-5

Doesn't that work with getting insurance to cover?
