Hi those of you who are getting your protein shakes from insure nutrition, do any of you know if you can get renewed after the initial 6 months or is the 6 months the max your allowed

Not really sure. Probably have to get the prescription renewed and then it probably depends on whether your insurance has a cap on it or not.

I just wanted to ask if anyone else out there is having a tough time with Insure Nutrition's turnaround time? I am soooooooo frustrated right now. It's been over a week since I found out I was approved and I was told that I would be receiving the shipping confirmation email, and still NOTHING. I've called to follow up and heard the "held up in the pharmacy" excuse that I've seen other posters here mention.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for their service, BUT seriously if they're going to advertise their services on sites like this they need to have the staff to support the business. I know patience isn't my forte, but seriously, when I'm told that something will be shipped and then a week later I'm still waiting it just makes me crazy!!!!!! AAAAGGGGGHHHHH!

I'm really worried that it will arrive while I'm in the hospital and sit on my porch in the heat and then the shakes will get all nasty. We all know that heat isn't good for Protein........

Sorry for the rant. I needed to get that out though. LOL!!

My first shipment the shipping email went to my junk mail folder so check there too.. For some reason they never sent my June shakes so I emailed them yesterday and they appologized and said they would try to get them out to me in a few days .. Idk what's going on over there!!

I just got my first shipping notification! Woo!

How many months do ppl usually get approved for?

Tell me how one gets insurance approval for this and when does it start?

I jut went on the website and filled out the do I qualify info. They faxed a prescription to my dr office and I let my dr office know and asked them to sign it. They sent it back and insure nutrition deals with your insurance. My insurance approved it...

Thanks!!

Does this happen AFTER surgery approval?

I applied after surgery... I don't know if anyone got the script prior to surgery...

Nice benefit! I couldn't get Protein drinks down much anyway, but I wish I had paid attention to this before. Good for people to know!

If you get a script from your surgeon or primary care doctor, and are approved for the surgery, why do you need to go through Insure Nutrition?

I don't know what you mean? Like would someone else fill the protein drink script? I don't know any pharmacy that would do that...

My Blue Cross/ Blue Shield Medicare plus of Mi didn't approve it. Must be my particular plan.

I thought that you might be able to send in the order to a place that carries the Protein Powder along with the script and they bill the insurance. OR, you might be able to order it and pay for it, then file a claim later. I don't understand why I only hear about Insure nutrition handling this for people.

As I understand, they are charging BIG bucks for the scar cream that goes along with the "free vitamins and free protein drinks". The pharmacy generally cannot charge your insurance for the drinks....it is an added bonus ALONG with the scar cream. Otherwise we would all go our LOCAL pharmacy and get our protein drinks for free.... That is my understanding.

My doctors office got me the script for the scar cream at my first post op appt. I have like ten flipping bottles of it! I applied for insure nutrition afterwards & was approved. So all I'm getting from them is the protein drinks.
