Insurance paying for protein drinks....

[littlelaura 43]

I just got my Protein Drinks along with the scar cream and the Vitamins today on my doorstep. My husband and I are going through this together so we each got four cases of Premier Protein drinks so we have eight cases altogether. That's a great savings with insurance paying for that.

Just got an email saying that I'm approved. Shipment should be here in 3-4 business days. I also got the Vitamins and scar cream! I have Apex insurance and CVS/Caremark for prescriptions.

Did you use the Apex info., or the CVS/Caremark info when applying online? I tried with my Aetna health and was turned down, and then asked if they could "run" it with my CVS/ Caremark and they told me no. It needed to be my Aetna, and not my prescription card. But, technically this is a prescription, correct?? I was turned down but tempted to try again with my CVS/Caremark card online.

Did anyone else use their prescription card only, to apply, and get approved?

I used CVS/Caremark online and they called for my Apex information. I would try again if I were you.

. I went thru my PCP. I knew I would get a faster response. Good luck.

I used my united healthcare and was denied. Used my CVS/Caremark and was approved.

The surgery center actually forwarded the prescription to my surgeon. I hope he signs it and I get approved. That would help big time on my grocery cost.

Well they called me and told me that my insurance would not cover the shakes so I guess I have to keep buying them.

I wonder if my prescription plan would pay it's also CVS Caremark my insurance did not cover my surgery. Wdyt?

My insurance denied my surgery the first time have the doc office submit a appeal to the state.

Just received notification that my Anthem insurance through Fedex has approved my Insure Nutrition prescription and I will be receiving the shakes this week! I decided to try the optisource Caramel flavor - crossing my fingers it works for me! I wish I could stomach Premier but no such luck - maybe I tried it too soon after surgery, but it just seems really sweet to me. I will probably doctor up the caramel shakes a bit if they don't taste as blissful as what I'm currently drinking: a combination of 10 oz Water, 1/2 scoop of Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold vanilla ice cream flavor, plus 1 teaspoon of Decaf instant coffee, 2 T of Walden Farms caramel Syrup, and 1/2 of a RTD Atkins Cafe Caramel shake. After mixing I microwave for 2 minutes. Tastes almost like Starbucks to me! If I splurged for Starbucks Via instant, it would probably be heaven on earth...mmmm.... The Atkins adds incredible creaminess due to higher fat content, so I always try to stick to a 1/2 bottle.

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.

Thanks so much for the info, i had to call them back today because i gave them my Aetna info instead of my cvs caremark card. Also my doc is only approving 1 month supple, talking about she dont want me on shakes after 2 weeks. The nerve, i feel if my insurance is gonna pay let me have it, i can have one in my bag when i get caught out without food handy. I hope they approve the six months. Thanks again.

You are so welcome!

We'll after weeks of calling surgeons office they finally faxed the script back. Insure called me yesterday to let me know that I have not met my deductible yet this year soooo when I hit that I have to call them back and then they'll submit it. Freaking obamacare! Probably won't hit that till almost years over. If then. Even tho now even scripts must be paid out of pocket till deductible is met. Only script I now take is the omeprisol Oh well.

My PCP wasn't comfortable signing the scripts. Had to wait for surgeons office to do it.
