Insurance paying for protein drinks....



Recommended Posts

I too applied, but gave my medical insurance info., not my prescription plan info( Aetna/ CVS Caremark) when they called I mentioned I gave them my medical ins info- not prescription info- and she didn't really say anything, that it was wrong, or anything. They did call last week but I have not heard back.

I applied on Monday and hope that I am approved. I have CVS Caremark. I drink the Premier Protein every day anyway, so if it is covered by insurance that would be great. I received the initial email saying that they received my information. Hope to hear something in the next week or so.

My surgeon finally faxed them the info, so now I'm waiting to see what happens...I also have a secondary insurance plan for prescriptions, so I'm trying both....maybe there's hope for me yet!!

I had the same fear, but they are pretty good. Even the vanilla. It's thinner than the powder I was using. But all in all for the price ( free ). I like them. Did not get the Vitamins because they said they were liquid. But I had read on here somebody got the chewables from them.

Has Anyone who has had their shipment delivered come across any issues with insurance after the fact?? I was approved last week & someone told me today that in a support group she belongs to people are saying that insurance companies are being charged huge amounts of $ and I'm just worried that we are going to be charged through them.

If you are approved, the insurance company cannot charge you anymore than your usual deductable for medication... but you should not recieve a bill after the fact...if you do...CALL THEM... because that is not right...

but if they told you there is no charge, there should be no charge...

The price is always higher when they send it to insurance companies as there is a tax write off involved with the balance that's left...don't worry about it... just enjoy the benefits. ( I know about the write offs as I work for an insurance company ;) ... )

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
