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.

Cigna pays! Got approved Monday. I'm getting shakes, stretch mark cream, and bariatric Vitamins every month. Don't have to pay a dime. Doesnt hurt to try, at all!

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 ;) ... )

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
