does anyones insurance cover their bariatric protein powder

or Vitamins? I have a plan that you can use either 250.00 a year on supplements or vitamins but up until now I been using that money toward gym membership. I want to continue using it for my gym membership.

I want to know if perhaps anyone gets Rx's for Protein powder.. like a medication and have had it filled and pay a copay. (I know.... its a stretch). That stuff is so expensive. If not I am also looking for tasty affordable options. Right now I pay 40.00 for a 10 day supply that is 120.00 a month. I need to cut that cost a tad. Thanks in advance.

Hello I am getting sleeved on the 25th can you give me any post op liquid diet

tips?

I just put in a request with a company called Insure Nutrition. They contact your doctor for a prescription for ready to drink protein and then if you have insurance they submit it for you. No charge. I filled out the form online and picked my shake flavors and then they called me to tell me the doctor has been contacted and they will get the oder going after they get insurance clearance. I will let you know how this progresses.

thanks so much.... This post thread was fairly recent... didn't see it. How do you search topics on here so I am not annoying by asking the same questions that were recently posted? Thanks in advance.

I have Independent Health... I hope they will approve the shakes. I will certainly try!

Anyone have any luck with this??

Yes I get 4 cases of ready to drink Premier Protein Shakes a month as well as my vitamins which as liquid and a scar cream. The process was easy, but right now I am not drinking all the shakes so I have a backlog of 7cases.

Bellini...how much are they charging your insurance company for the scar cream? Check an EOB statement. I heard it is close to $5000! Watch your pharmacy max if you have one!

I checked my benefit statement after reading that on here and they only charge my insurance $298/mo for the shakes, vitamins and scar cream.

Oh and the company waives my copay.

I need to cancel though because I really don't like the premiere Protein so I buy synthrax matrix anyway and have a backlog myself.

what insurance do you have? I have Cigna

I have Blue Cross Anthem.
