Has anyone's insurance company approved protein drinks from them?

Mine recently approved the shakes. Haven't received any just yet.

Mine did not approve [emoji53]

I applied last month and just called the other day to check on it. They are backed up and I am still waiting for them to verify coverage. I called my insurance and they said supplements aren't covered we will see if somehow they bill differently to get them covered. I have BCBSIL

Yes, mine did. I have CIGNA Open Access Plus. Received my drinks quickly after approval. They also tried to get me to get me to get some scar cream which I refused. I did get the VItD with Folic Acid, but need to cancel that as I realized I don't need them with the multi's I'm taking.

Yea they called me and offered other vitamins and the scar cream as well and asked if I wanted it if my insurance will cover it. I said yes if its covered. But they said I should hear back in a week or 2.

I get mine from them also, 4 cases a month.

I just got 4 cases today. Hoping it's not too good to be true.

Hmmm. I wonder then if could reimburse myself from my HSA for my protein shakes? Anyone know

I think you can

They just called me today and said I was approved. Just gotta have my surgeons office fax back the prescription.

I need to confirm with my doc office tomorrow regarding the Insure prescription during my follow up appointment.

Im hearing back from ppl that were approved that it may be too good to be true. They bill your prescription coverage some crazy amount, thousands of dollars. Most insurances have a cap on RX coverage, so ppl end up having to pay full price for their other prescriptions.

Im kinda iffy on it now. I cancelled the supplements they offered. Im not sure if the shakes are the same and I should cancel those as well.
