Is anyone else having trouble getting Medicare to cover TWINRIX?

Medicare will only cover hep B; twinrix is not covered.

Add-on question for Twinrix

Lisa,

Do you know if there is a specific reason why Medicare will cover the Hep B vaccine but not the Twinrix? Patient is HIV+ and high risk. Not sure if there is any way around this and I am having difficulty finding the information I need.

Thanks for your help!
