We have reports of three other cases where clients were reimbursed by their insurance companies (in accordance with their 80/20 policies). Each regional office of each company will be different. You will probably have to educate your insurance company yourself. Use any information on this site to help . You may also need something from your doctor.

This information is reported by a third party for your own use. We cannot accept any responsibility for the actions of an insurance company or an attorney. If your insurance company is unfamiliar with Transfer Factor, you will have to educate them on what it is and what it is used for. Feel free to use any information on this site for that purpose.  Complete details on Transfer Factor can be found here!
