Did you get insurance coverage for your protein?

I've seen posts where people are getting coverage for their supplements and Protein shakes through their insurance. Are you? What do you get covered? Who are you insured with? What was the process for getting coverage?

A lot of people use insureprotien.com to get their protein...but I want to know the magic behind the curtain.

I get 4 cases of protein, vitamins and scar cream all covered, 100%, through my insurance from insurenutrition.com.

what insurance do you have?

Thank you all for the tip. I will see if I quality. I won't get my hopes up though since my insurance won't cover one bit of my surgery. The least they can do is buy me some protein right!

The worst they could say is No! I say give it a shot :)

Exactly! I had heard about Insurenutrition on this forum. I filled out the form and about 3 weeks later I received an email stating I was approved. Once the Dr's office signed off on the prescription I started receiving my supplements. It took about a month & a half to start receiving them, but they've been coming now since 2 months after surgery, I'm now 7 1/2 months out.

I just got my phone call saying that my insurance did not approve it. I have BCBS FEP

I filled out the form on the insure website (I think it was their website) and the next day someone called me to verify info and said I will hear soon if my insurance will cover it, or not. I'm in Michigan and have BCBS. Good luck to everyone!

I have UHC and they didn't cover it unless is in a feeding tube but some how they cover the scar cream but didn't go for it.. Lucky the ones that are cover!!
