Shake to decrease cholesterol- reimburseable?

[Guest rachd]

This lady was told her by doctor to take a calcium and soy supplement to lower her cholesterol- she found this in what is called "Ultrameal" (in a shake form). We did a little research and it looks like it can also be used as a meal replacement (i.e. help with weight loss). We do have a prescription from her doctor but are very hesitant to reimburse this expense. She is going to provide a copy of the label to verify the ingredients but we're still not sure...

What's your thoughts?

Thanks,

Rachel

Food supplements are not reimbursable and it sounds like this is exactly what this is.
