My ins wasn't going to pay for the Magic mouth wash my Dr prescribed so today at rads he called them and said this drug is a medical necessity and said I need carnation VHC for nourishment. THey said OK to the mouth wash and I left before they answered about the VHC to get an MRI. I'll find out tomorrow about the VHC.
