One year anniversary sale: $36.50 eighths

[cologrower420]

The 36.50 is just today. Still 45 minutes left! We had almost 100 patients stop in today, but miraculously the shelves are not bare. Still have 15+ A selections. More hash than any dispensary I've seen in Denver. Most FSA's do work, but we only have experience with United Health/care.

I am in the insurance industry, and I am checking with my sales reps with United to confirm or deny this, and to see if this extends to HSA's as well.

There are different companies and I could be contacting a different United than the one you are referring to, but I'll post an update when I get more info.

A20 specifically states that insurance companies don't have to pay marijuana related claims, if there is a carrier that is allowing that, it's a pretty big deal.

It's just about how we're coded. There's a distinct possibility that they'll stop accepting them any day now, especially if you told reps for their company that they're being accepted. Stop in now before they cut you off!

I feel that this should go somewhere else, but this is as good a place as any.

FYI Releaf, assuming we're talking about the same insurance company, United Healthcare. I'd be happy to call the shop and discuss this offline if you have any questions.

However, you are totally correct about how it's coded. Unless someone's account is audited (not gonna happen imo), then they can use their hsa money for anything 'medically related' with a few exceptions. I'm sure greenpoint or whatever insurance producer posts here and CL could verify, but they don't seem to touch health insurance. Could be wrong though.
