No. Your health insurance does not cover SmartByte. Like other FDA approved weight control pills and devices for patients who are not morbidly obese ( BMI> 35) insurance prefers to pay for health issues caused by excess weight instead of intervening early to prevent them. However, SmartByte is charged to your credit card so you can pay it down monthly to your own schedule. Also, SmartByte is an eligible expense for your Health Savings Account and Flexible Spending Account
SmartByte has been proven in four clinical trials published in peer reviewed medical journals. It is one of only six devices for weight control ever approved by FDA. SmartByte is the only one designated Non-significant Risk (NSR). FDA approval is the Gold Standard among medical devices throughout the world.
