oral DMPS number for insurance

[Guest guest]

Can anyone give me a drug identification number (DIN) for oral DMPS for my

insurance company. I have it compounded here, and the pharmacy uses only raw

materials with no DIN numbers. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

The drugs that I have compounded (not DMPS) are all given the DIN

number 00999999. My insurance covers all compounded prescriptions, it

doesn't matter what's in them. I'm in Canada. Not sure this helps.

When we used to have to fill out insurance reimbursement request forms for

compounded drugs, the pharmacy would write in the code for compound (a bunch of

6s if I recall correctly -- your compounding pharmacy or insurance company can

tell you) and then write out a full list of ingredients.

Hello,

Our insurance, Aetna so far, has reimbursed us for the compounded oral DMPS.

Which is a good thing since the pharmacy charges 500.00 for 100 caps of 25mg

DMPS/25mgALA.

Anyone paying less than this for a similar amount? We get it from Hopewell

Pharmacy.

The number we use is: the NDC # we use is 00000-0497-61.

Hope this helps,

Ashi

You could check the price examples here for DMPS:

You could also check with a few other compounding pharmacies.

I've heard that The Falls Pharmacy has good prices (they are

listed at the page with URL above).

good wishes,
