i know my dad would be thrilled if it did. He can only do 1.2 ius ed at the moment.
Mine covers test, deca, var, hcg and hgh.. 
I just have a simple PPOM.. I know for a fact blue/cross covers it..
From experience some insurance companies do cover but it usually varies per state example BCBS of Illinois have covered up to 80% of the costs for some patients and only requires IGF-1 testing to be done. Now BCBS of Florida will only cover if a stimulation test is done to find out if the patient is covered. Most doctors do not do stimulation testing for AGHD and only due IGF-1. Atnea difficult but possibly can be done if prescriptions are filled through their specialty pharmacy. For those using compounded HGH this may be difficult as far as I know they do not compound HGH at this time. I also believe the United Health Care will cover a certain percentage but at this time have had little feedback from patients.

No the HGH is sent to me directly by the pharmacy once a month who collects from the insurance company after my $10 copay. The doctor some how managed to get it pre-approved for a year by the insurance company – 2.8 units a day of Genotropin. The MiniQuick delivery system sure beats having to mix up a batch every month and is great when I travel. My HGH levels are low, however, so it's looked upon as a medical necessity, as well as the testosterone which is also covered.

I believe that program that your doctor got you approved for is the Pfizer Bridge Program. Usually you have to go through a stimulation tests to be approved. If not they do have Pfizer does have a program that patients can use to assist with payment but I am pretty sure you have to do the stimulation tests and fail them.

All I did was get bloodwork done. At the time my test levels were over 4k, and they still approved HRT therapy for me. Its all about making money, I havent heard of one person being turned down. If someone has, please speak up..
