Some insurance companies do things differently. Some people cannot utilize folic acid because they lack the enzymes in the stomach to convert folic acid into folate which can cross the blood-brain barrier and make the vitamin available to increase serotonin production and that means, in my view, that it's an essential medication.
Because it's derived from a concentrated form of folate (Deplin, that is)
some companies won't insure it because it's considered a food rather
than a medicaton.
Go figure.

I have been taking Deplin for about 5 years. I don't think it has done anything for me. With our insurance using the hospital RX it only costs 5. At least one benefit from my Husband working in a hospital.
