Coverage of Prescription Vitamins and Mineral Products for N.C. Medicaid Recipients

Effective April 13, 2011, N.C. Medicaid discontinued coverage of all legend vitamins and mineral products with the exception of prenatal vitamins and fluoride at Point of Sale and Vitamin B-12 through a prescriber’s office in the Physician’s Drug Program. An error occurred with Vitamin D and Folic Acid and this has been corrected and they are no longer covered, EXCEPT for patients zero to 21 years of age with a diagnosis of sickle cell disease.
