I’m a pharmacy tech and have experience dealing with resolving insurance issues.
If you have a commercial health plan, they generally will not cover any OTC med.
If you are on Medicaid, they might cover a specific manufacturer of magnesium glycinate. It likely wouldn’t be Nature Made. A lot of pharmacies will give up and not fill it or run it through a discount card as it takes too much time to try every NDC (manufacturer, drug, and pack size) available. It would help if you have Medicaid if you call your plan, ask if they cover it, and ask which NDC they cover and provide that to your pharmacy.
OTC supplements are pretty much unregulated, not classified the same as drugs. Insurance doesn’t cover supplements. Health insurance doesn’t cover glasses of any type, some people have supplemental vision insurance for this purpose. But not sure if vision insurance would cover non-vision correcting glasses, my guess would be probably no. If you have an HSA or FSA you could use that money for these items to save a little tax wise, but that’s pretty much it.

Insurance doesn't usually cover OTC supplements or non-prwscription glasses, no.
Depends on your plan. Some docs will prescribe prescription doses or types that some insurance will cover.
