Insurance paying for protein drinks....



Recommended Posts

I'm sure this has been asked before but this post is a decade long lol. But I just applied and it said thank you for registering with insure nutrition. Does this mean I have been approved or shall I still be standing by expecting a phone call or email? This is very cool thanks for sharing this little bit of knowledge, I never would have thought this was an option. :)

now that I posted I realize I definitely didn't look hard lol. Hindsight is 20/20 I'll tell you what.

Thank you again!

Dear Cassandra

Thanks for your Registration on INSURE NUTRITION Website.

For your Information, Below is the step by step process in order to get your Nutritional supplements from INSURE NUTRITION COVERED BY YOUR INSURANCE.

* You can check it here too http://www.insurenutrition.com/do-you-qualify.php

STEP 1:

STEP 2:

After checking your eligibility, you are notified of your status either through email or by phone call. If you are eligible, we fill out a prescription form and fax it to your doctor for a signature.

STEP 3:

Once the signed prescription is faxed back to us, we send a month's supply of supplements directly to your home.

STEP 4:

The whole process from when you submit your health insurance information to when you receive your supplements generally takes 1-2 weeks. The duration of time may vary depending on how promptly your doctor faxes us back your prescriptions.

They're legit! Just got my called that my insurance approved everything yesterday. shakes, scar treatment and Vitamins. They faxed over the prescription to my doctor and he just needs to sign off on it & my shakes should be sent out in either 2 weeks or I'll have them in two weeks. Not entirely sure. Will keep posted when I actually receive the products and what's in it.

Hello friends,

I have Cigna (I live in CT, after Jan. 1, 2017 it will switch to Aetna). The shakes, scar cream and supplements were approved. The process took maybe 2 weeks because I wasn't super diligent about making sure my doc got the faxed prescription request from Insure Nutrition - then faxed the company back, signing off on it, which they did.

I'm a lapband revision to sleeve (just had the band out 11/22/16 have to wait 3 months to get the sleeve done). So right now I'm in the middle of the two surgeries. UPS confirmed that I have 4 shipments on the way scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I'm not sure how many Premier Protein come per case, but I'll keep you updated as getting our nutrition covered is a hot topic! I cannot begin to tell you how thankful I am to have this be covered. It eases my mind to know that my Protein needs will be met - delivered to my door and covered by my insurance! Now we'll see what happens after the 1st of the year and if Aetna is as generous as Cigna (fingers crossed).

Just be aware if you have a yearly maximum benefit on your prescription insurance. They charge an insane amount to the insurance carrier for the shakes. My friend did this and hit her maximum then could not get her actual prescription medication for the rest of the year due to high cost.

I applied on March 7. I just got the phone call 2 minutes ago that I was approved. I asked her could I cancel anytime and she said yes.

I have Aetna POS II.

      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.
