Just an FYI ... I'm 5 days post op with the sleeve. Everything is going well. I just wanted to share what my friend shared with me about getting your drinks paid for through your insurance.

Didn't know if it would go through or not but it did!! I signed up online at Insure Nutrition, gave them my insurance information (make sure it's your prescription plan info) and they did all the work for me. They verified my insurance, contacted my Doctor for the prescription and a week later I received my first shipment!!

You all may already know about this but I didn't and I honestly couldn't have been more surprised that it was approved and had no copay!! My drinks were actually delivered a week before my surgery do they were ready for me!

They also do liquid supplements but my doctor has me on chewable Flintstones lol so I'm doing those instead.

Oh and I'm doing premier chocolate.

I have BCBS Anthem and I am going to try to see if I can get them Free...i like premier shakes

Just got an email saying that I'm approved. Shipment should be here in 3-4 business days. I also got the vitamins and scar cream! I have Apex insurance and CVS/Caremark for prescriptions.

My husband and I both got approved for ours we have Blue Cross Blue Shield federal Wisconsin we are getting the vanilla and chocolate combo shakes the cream and the chewable vitamins. My surgery date isn't even set yet but I just said it was going to be sometime in May so I put down the first and they approved me.

How long after you applied did you get the notice of approval?

It was about two weeks. Longest part was waiting for my doctor to sign off on their form and fax back.

How long after you applied did you get the notice of approval?

I applied on 3/11 and received my approval and shipping notices on 3/19.

I called my doc so they would know that a fax was coming. They signed it right away. It didn't take too long. But I can't remember how long.

I called my office, the office where I am having the procedure, and they had no idea what I was talking about. Just my luck the office closed at 12 today. I have to wait til Monday to check in with someone.

Have you already been approved for the surgery though and just don't have a date? The reason I ask is because a few weeks ago I called and talked to a rep and I asked if we could along receive shakes after the surgery is performed and she said no we can get them before approval for surgery. If this is the case I may apply now

No I haven't been approved yet nor have my surgery date and I was approved for them.

Just received my shipment! 4 18 count cartons of shakes (half chocolate/half vanilla), liquid vitamins, and scar cream! I have some papers to sign and send back and then the shipments should come automatically every month! This was easier than I thought!

My Dr office is kind of being a pain about signing the prescription. They tell me the Dr's no longer write-sign 3rd party prescriptions of "compounded drugs". I figure It must be the scar cream. I had Insure rewrite the script only to include the Premiere Protein and fax that in. I really don't care about the scar cream or the liquid Multi-vitamins. I am now waiting to see if they will sign that and send it back. I did raise a bit of hell on the phone with the office, I demanded to speak with my surgeon for a logical explanation of why they would not help me get the protein shakes paid for be insurance. My insurance paid the Dr as well as the hospital a great deal of money. Now waiting.......

I agree! The amount of money these surgeons are getting is mind blowing! And trust me when I say it's worth every penny! But, they should all bend over backwards to make things financially easier for their patients when possible! Protein shakes are NOT inexpensive!

My Dr has signed the prescription for just the Premier Protein. He didn't like the scar cream for some reason. Now we see what my insurance has to say.

I just got my protein drinks along with the scar cream and the vitamins today on my doorstep. My husband and I are going through this together so we each got four cases of Premier protein drinks so we have eight cases altogether. That's a great savings with insurance paying for that.
