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.

Can your PCM sign for these products?

Oh I plan to do that SandeeD

I don't know if it has to be your WLS doctor or not. I would call and check it out.

I turned down the cream as well. I purchased Bio oil from the vitamin shoppe..and its awesome the first night I used it before bed and the next mornings mg my incisions were soft and smooth;-) I rub on my whole belly because of stretch marks since about 3 weeks out..love it! I think it was 8 dollars.

Hello everyone.. I submitted my info this morning... I saw the link and thought why not.... BUT here's the kicker... my doctor actually sells Optifast (soups and shakes) and gives a one month supply of both to patients, so when I went in to his office this past Monday I got two large sacks full of Optifast. Since he is selling it ( first month included with cost of surgery) I wonder if he would still write a prescription for it ?

OneMoreTime, my doctor's office sells it too (I think that most do). But they are all for it if you (the patient) can get the insurance company to pay for it and they just don't have the staff to process the paperwork to have this done. Everybody's financial situation is different, so they would not get in the way of the patient being able to get supplements with no cost to them. I'm hoping this is approved by my insurance company as it would be one less thing to worry about.

Thanks for the info I did not know about this. I'm going to try and see if my insurance will pay for it.

I just received 4 cases of the Premier chocolate Shakes!!! Insure Nutrition says they will continue to send them for the next 7 months and then request another script from my DR. This is going to save me a fortune....now I'll have more $ to buy new cloths

I saw on youtube on the ladies that got this said her insurance company was charged $1100 and for the amount of stuff she got it was't even worth $300...so for those that get this can you let the rest of know of that amount charged to the insurance company is for all 7 months or just for that month...thanks

Just to let anyone under Tri-Care Prime that Insure Nutrition cover them too.

The lady on the phone told me that it would be for two shakes per day, the scar cream and Multivitamins.

Also, it can signed off by your PCM or your Surgeon.

I just emailed my PCM for the correct fax number for Insure Nutrition to contact them and should be good to go.

Which insurance company allows this? BC/BS, HealthPartners, etc...

I have Tricare Standard. I hope they cover it also.

I'm Prime, but I'm sure they do....if tricare prime and standard do the bypass they'll do this too.

Good luck

Thanks for the info, signed up now waiting approval

Just applied with EnvisionRxOptions. I'll keep you posted

Does anyone know if you have to wait till your post op?
