I was on opti-fast for 6 weeks and it cost me $600.00,

so $100.00 per week and no insurance company offers reimbursement as far as I know.

I purchased mine through the clinic.

If you buy it through the clinic you can expect to pay an extra $30-40 a box.

Get them to write you a script and get it at Medical Mart in Mississauga or where ever you are close to one.

Occasionally someone on here will have extra they are happy to give away as well

I'm going to be on it for three weeks (soon, please, soon!).   I've picked up my OptiFast, through the Ottawa Weight Management Clinic:

OptiFast - 7 boxes @ 14 per box = 98 packages - cost 293.16 or 2.99 per package.

Sorry for the lack of dollar signs, but OH is being finicky right now and creates strange characters.   But I digress.

Neither Sun Life nor Great West will cover the OptiFast.  While it is a "prescription", it does not have a DIN (Drug Identification Number).  

The WMC gave me a receipt, for income tax purposes, however.
