Anyone had experience with OsteoStrong, who is not a franchisee?

Did you have to provide a Letter of Medical Necessity from your Doctor to get reimbursed for membership fees? I have Aetna PPO Medicare Advantage (just turned 65). This is my second year of OsteoStrong. My scans showed a slight improvement after 11 months - which I'm thrilled with. My PCP is not familiar with OsteoStrong and I don't think she'd provide a letter saying that it was a medical necessity. I also started taking AlgeaCal about the same time as I started OsteoStrong.

Not covered at all with Med Adv. It is not an approved treatment!!

The Osteostrong in fort Myers has had some success with Aetna. We have another insurance and I printed a claim form and got a letter from my doctor saying that the program was working very well. I heard back from the insurance co. that they needed one more thing. I took this as a good sign. I’m waiting for a hopefully, positive response. Osteostrong was very helpful in filling out the form. Always worth a try. (My PCP was also not familiar with Osteostrong but now said she’s going to check it out. ) Good luck to you and let us know how it goes.
