See if you are covered before receiving a Synvisc-One injection.

Synvisc-One® (hylan G-F 20) costs are eligible for reimbursement by Medicare and most insurance plans. Check with your insurance company to determine your exact benefits.

Many insurers require that you obtain Synvisc-One directly from your doctor. If your doctor writes you a prescription for Synvisc-One, some insurance plans, including Medicare, may not cover the cost. Therefore, it is recommended that you check with your insurer prior to receiving a prescription.
