Did you know Your Protein Drinks Can be Covered By Your Insurance?



Recommended Posts

Hello please help, I'm very concerned! - Has anyone had a successful relationship with this company? I'm waiting for my Dr. to sign off on the prescription !

How long does it take to receive your products once the company receives your script? Are the Vitamins ok in taste and of sufficient nutrition value?? And does this $5 K scar cream I'm reading about really work?

Thank you for your help.

I've had *MANY* members PM me that they've had very good results using InsureNutrition. The key is to have patience and definitely stay on top of them and your doc.

It bothers me that the insurance company is being billed $5000 for it. That's outrageous. Those costs come back to the insured in the form of higher premiums. This sounds like the scooter folks who are now serving time for insurance fraud. I'm out.

I have heard that quite thrown around here but my insurance receipts didn't say that. They said around $127 and my insurance had their "contracted rate" and so only paid less than half that.

That said, I didn't find the cream worthwhile

I finally was able to get the online request to go through and it generated an email form letter back...says we can also help with scar cream....I will opt out of this though...I have had two other laparoscopic surgeries and no scar cream can completely help and those scars are almost completely faded on their own anyway. If I can get the Vitamins and Protein paid for by insurance I will be more than happy.

Does anyone know if Medicare covers any Protein Drinks etc or do they assume everyone should have surgery under 65 ?

At first I wan't even going to try because I figured my insurance (Tricare) wouldn't cover it, but I said what the heck. It was just a few minutes of my time and the worst that could happen is that they say no and I've only lost a few minutes of time.


My shipment is on it's way! I get the Protein, chewable Vitamins (insurance didn't cover liquid) and scar cream.



Thank you Insure Nutrition!!!


Ok how are you doing this? I’m also tricare...

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
