Wow, some of you sure were charged a lot for your Optifast! Mine was $239 for 3 weeks from TWH - I ordered it in August. I wonder what's up with the huge price differences?
My insurance didn't cover it, either.
In any case, considering what I used to eat, $239 for three weeks' worth of food, even when I threw in a couple of bottles of DV syrup and flavour extracts and boxes of chicken broth and made it $300, is way less than I was spending on groceries AND junk food AND eating out, etc...

Just wanted to chime in and say it was not covered through my drug plan but I was able to get it covered through my HSA. For anyone who has an HSA available to them, look into this option.
