Insurance paying for protein drinks....

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 was denied. I might have sent my health insurance info.

A representative just called me. She faxed over the scripts to be signed by my surgeon this morning. I'll follow-up with them at my appointment tomorrow. Once he signs them and sends them back we'll see if my insurance company will cover it. She's getting me the scar cream too. We'll see what happens.

Is this just for those recently having surgery only? What if u are not but have issues with getting Protein levels up

I was denied :-(

FYI

The four insurances that do not accept the program out

Medical

Medicare

Medicaid

Kaiser

Well now I know why I was denied....medicare covers the surgery but u on your own for Protein....well im most thankful it covered my surgery for sure...

I JUST GOT THE CALL...I WAS APPROVED!!!

I should have my Protein powder and scar cream by Friday...Monday the latest WOO HOO!!!

....and my surgery was about a year ago! So that's not an issue :)

They did finally email me back saying that my insurance (Cigna) won't cover any of it. I tried.

I tried...I have Aetna, and waiting to hear back from them. Right after I signed up, I did a search on Aetna and their policy on coverage...what I found was that they do not cover any type of shakes or drinks, so I guess it's just a matter of time before I get the denial call.

I just called them back(they had asked me to call over a week ago but my Aunt passed away so been out of town) She clarified my info asked for Health Insurance first and said typically when filling out the online form you should put your health insurance info & ID then when they call you you provide your prescription info, thought that may help some of you who are confused at sign up like I was. My doc already faxed back my prescriptions and I should know by the end of the week if I am approved! Fingers crossed!

I just received my denial call...oh well :(

Holy Cow I just got a shipping notification so that must mean my Premier Protein is covered!!!! Thanks SO much for the heads up! I haven't received the call yet but my stuff should arrive on Tuesday :)

I find it interesting that my surgery was not covered! I have Blue Cross of Idaho and CVS Caremark for RX! How awesome!!!

I got a call saying I'm approved. Wahoo!

Tried it. Insurance refused to pay. Waste of time for me.

So this needs to be done after surgery right? My surgery is on Tuesday.

Hello everyone,

I have Humana PPO as a federal employee. They do not cover the drinks, supplements or scar cream. I was disappointed but not surprised.
