Thickener Insurance Coverage and DME Suppliers

When thickeners are deemed medically necessary and covered by insurance, your healthcare provider will send a referral, or letter of medical necessity, for thickener to a durable medical equipment (DME) supplier. These are home health suppliers, rather than pharmacy. Gelmix and Purathick thickeners, when covered, fall under HCPCS Code B4100 under Durable Medical Equipment (DME) billing. Check your state below for specific DME supply information.

Can I use an HSA Card to pay for thickeners?

Yes, you can use your HSA card to purchase thickeners, but since food thickeners are considered ‘dual purpose,’ you will need a letter of medical necessity from your doctor. This means you’ll need to pay for the thickeners upfront, and then you can submit a manual claim to your HSA for reimbursement using that letter.

Are Thickeners Covered by Medicaid?

This is determined by each state’s Medicaid program. The B4100 reimbursement rate determines the ability of a DME supplier to provide different types of thickeners. Gelmix and Purathick are typically covered in states with “favorable coverage”. Check below to see if coverage is favorable in your state.

Alaska

Medicaid Coverage Needs Improvement. This state currently provides coverage for thickeners through DME reimbursement code B4100 (or B4100-U1). However, the reimbursement rate may be too low or is currently unclear, which can make it challenging for suppliers to offer low-weight, gum-based thickeners like Gelmix and Purathick. Advocating for updates to the Medicaid reimbursement schedule to a cost-plus model could ensure better access to these essential products.
