The short answer

Usually not. NAD+ has no FDA-approved use and is compounded, and insurers rarely cover that. Medicare Part D rules say compounded products as a whole don't meet the definition of a Part D drug. Some people use an HSA or FSA; check with your plan first.

  • Compounded NAD+ is rarely covered by insurance.
  • Medicare Part D treats compounded products differently from approved drugs.
  • The IRS counts prescribed medicines as medical expenses; ask your HSA/FSA administrator.
  • NADMedics is self-pay: $199, $349 or $499 for 1, 2 or 3 months.

Why insurance rarely pays

Insurers generally cover drugs for approved uses. NAD+ has no FDA-approved use, and the FDA doesn't approve compounded drugs. Medicare's prescription drug manual says compounded products as a whole don't satisfy the definition of a Part D drug; only qualifying components can count.

HSAs and FSAs

IRS Publication 502 lets you include amounts paid for prescribed medicines and drugs as medical expenses, and a prescribed drug is one that requires a doctor's prescription. Whether NAD+ qualifies under your HSA or FSA depends on your plan, so ask your administrator and keep your receipts.

This isn't tax advice; a tax professional can confirm what applies to you.
