I must say I'm a little disappointed in the customer service of this site. I filled out my application 3weeks ago and have had to call them to "check" every step of the way, they first told me they were waiting on my dr to fax back the scripts, but my dr had done it on the 10th. Now they said it was still being processed. They told me three different times they would call me back, but don't. Today they said they'd call me tomorrow to let me know what's covered. Please don't get me wrong, if approved I will be soooo grateful,these Protein Shakes are pricey! Anyone else feel like they're getting the run around?

Sigh....YES but at the opposite end!

I keep trying to get them to STOP sending them to me! I use a different Protein shake now and it's worth it to me to pay the $$ bc I've never liked the Premiere Protein! I've asked them to stop twice and just got another delivery today!

Anyone in central to southern CA want some premiere Protein shakes????

I was approved on June 13th and I just got my first shipment Monday July 22, 2014. I am very please with Insure service. I have been purchasing premier shakes from SAMs and to save the $$ I am very excited and a very happy camper. I also received two big bottles of liquid

Multi Vitamins and a list of the Vitamins in the bottle. Once again I only have positive things to say.

I honestly don't think they wait for a prescription from your doctor because I filled out the form. They sent me an email saying they sent the form to my doctor. Then a few days later they emailed me back saying the doc sent the prescription back and they would notify me if approved. Well I haven't even had my first appt with doctor so why would a doc fill out a perscription on a patient he's never seen. I think they just take your insurance info and see if they can get it approved and gov from there. Today they emailed me and said my ins does not cover it. So u think they just go directly to your ins company.

Hi everyone, I am speaking from my own experience. The company do contact your Dr. When I filled out the paper work I put the NP down because she is the one that do my fills (Lapband). I called my Dr office to follow up to make sure they did receive the paperwork from Insure. The receptionist inform me the paper work came in with the NP name listed and they had to contact Insure to resend paperwork with Doctor listed. To make a long story short .. I just got my second shipment with two bottles of liquid muliti Vitamins. I love the Premier Protein shakes . I receive 4 cases a month and each case contain 18 shakes...Saving me $$ because I was purchasing every two weeks at SAMs...... I hope this helps

Im waiting on 1st shipment. This would save me $100 a month! So worth the paperwork & email tag to get it done. I prefer premier chocolate and when needed I thin it down w milk so not as sweet. Good luck

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
