Am I wrong with that? Or does it vary from state to state?

oh i see. no you are correct. most meds have off label uses but insurance companies won't cover them if they're not for the Dx the med was created for. for example... nuvigil/provigil. it's for narcolepsy, but pdocs prescribe it for low energy. so they basically Dx the person with narcolepsy in order for the insurance company to pay for it..
