Did you get insurance coverage for your protein?



Recommended Posts

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?

I would be very interested in this answer. How do you do it?

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!

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 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!

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
