Insurance Coverage for UreaAide™
UreaAide™ is a qualified medical expense and is thus tax deductible through an HSA, FSA, or HRA.
Insurance carriers will undoubtedly ask for a prior authorization from the physician or medical provider.
The patient should contact their insurance carrier and let them know their provider has recommended UreaAide™.
UreaAide™, if covered, will be covered under Medical Benefit not pharmaceutical benefits or under DME. HCPCS codes B-4155 or the DME code A-9999 are utilized when the PA form is submitted. In practice unfortunately, insurance carriers often will not cover the cost. This is why we offer our Unflavored UreaAide™ urea at modest prices.
Urea Safety in Long Term Use
Urea has been effetively used for Hyponatremia since 1980.
Here a 2012 study compared 12 patients with SIADH given 1 year of treatment with an oral V2 receptor antagonist, then given an 8 day drug holiday and started on Urea for another year of therapy.
The mean age was 73 years.
Mean baseline serum sodium level was 125 meq/L.
After 1 year of Urea therapy the mean serum Sodium was 135 meq/L.
1 patient stopped the Vaptan due to excessive thirst, whereas all patients were able to continue Urea without any significant adverse effects.
