<< Prior to locating the CF site I was spending:

1. Adeks $28 for 20 days The nutritionist ordered them 3x a day.

2. Viactiv chews $8.00 for 20 days

3. Daily Multivitamin $10.00 for 60 days

4. Actigall $10.00 for 30 days

5. Chrmagen $10.00 for 30 days

This all adds up to about $75.00 a month on my part. I am not griping

but I know that this can be costly. And CF is now refusing to take

any new non CF patients so those people who are taking Adeks who have

not yet signed up with the CF site will be stuck with the retail

Adeks price. They are also threatening to discontinue ADEK

availability to the remaining patients becuase they claim that they

are losing money on ADEKS. I don`t understand this when the company

cuts them a big break.

wow - I was paying 25/30 days supply of chromagen forte- --- my insurance

covered but partially. Then, we switched jobs and same insurance but

different policy - they DIDN'T cover it AT ALL. So, it was about 50

bucks/month but I found them cheaper at CF.

Interesting what you say about CF --- Did you speak with a rep about this? I

wonder when they will 'cut off' the supply to non-CF patients... hmmm....

I'm seriously beginning to consider the vitaforlife stuff.. Now these have a

supply of the fat soluables (ADEK), right so one doesn't need to get ADEKS on

top of them

all the best,
