In most cases, no. In some cases, vitamin and mineral supplements may be covered by pre-tax health spending accounts (HSA). Some patients who qualify for financial assistance can get generic vitamins covered when ordered by a physician. This does not apply to bariatric specialty vitamins.
Kaiser Permanente has contracts with bariatric specialty vitamins (Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate), which are available at a discounted rate for Kaiser Permanente members.
