Insurance paying for protein drinks....

[leo0704 48]

Just an FYI ... I'm 5 days post op with the sleeve. Everything is going well. I just wanted to share what my friend shared with me about getting your drinks paid for through your insurance.

Didn't know if it would go through or not but it did!! I signed up online at Insure Nutrition, gave them my insurance information (make sure it's your prescription plan info) and they did all the work for me. They verified my insurance, contacted my Doctor for the prescription and a week later I received my first shipment!!

You all may already know about this but I didn't and I honestly couldn't have been more surprised that it was approved and had no copay!! My drinks were actually delivered a week before my surgery do they were ready for me!

They also do liquid supplements but my doctor has me on chewable Flintstones lol so I'm doing those instead.

Oh and I'm doing premier chocolate.< /p>

So they sent you the Premier Protein shakes?

[stephglv 3]

Also how long did it take for them to approve it ?

[leo0704 48]

Yes. I had a choice of premier or opti (?). Had only tried Premier so was unfamiliar with the other name. I received 72 eleven oz. premier shakes. I guess the number of shakes received depends upon prescription. They told me (insure) that I would automatically receive these shakes for the next seven months.

I would say the whole process took a couple of days for approval and maybe a week for delivery by Fed Ex.

I unfortunately gave them my health insurance info the first time around which of course was denied. Once they received my actual prescription plan info it was approved lol.

My Doctor had never heard of this either until now.

I have like a 10.00 copay for generic prescriptions. Some more and some less. My card has CVS Care mark on it. Sorry I can't tell you more about my coverage. I don't personally take any daily medicines so I'm not very familiar with it.

My friend that told me about this has a completely different insurance policy than me and her company approved her as well. I do know this - the three people I know who have the sleeve (including myself) all were approved to receive shakes.

So I'm telling everyone I know because those shakes are EXPENSIVE!!

One more thing, the Rep I talked to at my prescription company didn't show Premier products listed or anything even remotely similar. However, I thought shoot they'll pay for crutches so why not check this out.

Now my husband wants to know what else they will pay for that we never knew about lol.

Awesome!! Let us know how it goes. Getting that date feels like Christmas!!

Just submitted my info to insure nutrition. Now fingers crossed it works with my ins.

[SandeeD 363]

And the letter was basically saying we're paying for the surgery, but be aware that you'll have a lot of loose skin but we're not paying for THAT! That's cosmetic, so don't say we didn't tell you! lol Not quite those words, but they might as well have said it that way! lol

Lol .... Insurance really doesn't want to pay for anything they don't have to..... Loose skin I can deal with it when that time comes. I just want to be healthier and definitely more active!!

You won't know if they will pay till you try so good luck on that. I have to admit I was SHOCKED when they did!! I just want to spread the love!!! Let us know if you get it approved!

I don't know but it wouldn't hurt to try. Doesn't cost anything to apply and they do all the work for you. Go for it!
