Insurance paying for protein drinks....

[taylokat 180]

I have Aetna, and was not approved. I asked about using my prescription CVSCaremark and they said they couldn't submit it thru my prescription plan . Off to SAMs tomorrow to stock up...BOOO!!!

who can't submit it to Caremark? Why not? Worst case scenario is they say no

I just got my huge (HEAVY) box of shakes last week. I got the Premier Protein chocolate/vanilla combo. I have to say they are amazingly good, and either a combination of them+time made me get off a short stall I was on.

I also was approved for the scar cream -- I'm not really sure what it "does" (I mean, scar help obviously) but hey it's not going to hurt to put it on, right? Anyone been using it for a longer period of time have had any good results with it?

They also sent me a sample of chewable Vitamins as I wasn't approved for them. They are pretty good -- the brand is optisource (Citrus flavor) and is made by NestleHealthScience. No idea if these are readily available for purchase, but I know a lot of people often look for Vitamin alternatives, so I figured I'd mention.

I wish I had know about this earlier in my process, I probably wouldn't have bought that Ninja blender (though it IS pretty amazing, I just find myself not using it as much now that I have the Premier shakes and shakes from BariatricChoice.com)

I would call again and ask. Mine was submitted to CVS Caremark and was approved.

So should I apply with my cvs Caremark card?

[ILgirl 3]

Yes, that's what I did and I was approved.

[prettyandbrwn 40]

Ok thank you!

Once you've subscribed, you cannot change existing information, I had to register again with a different email address. That's a pain.

They offer optisource or Premier Protein drinks..... I had the Optisource Protein in the hospital and I didn't like it..... it was horrible or maybe it was just becuase i was so sick then....

I'm not having surgery until the end of May. Can I go ahead and apply or should I wait?

[greensleeve 457]

What if we get them and we don't like it?

I applied with Aetna, and was turned down- I asked the lady if she was sure she couldn't try using my CVS Caremark prescription plan- and she seemed upset and told me no! If I re- apply with my CVS Caremark, they will fax my Dr again I guess- or call me and tell me nice try! Haha. But also just spent $35 on portion drinks, so think I'll give it another try too.

Let me know if your went thru with CVS Caremark on your second try.
