Did you know Your Protein Drinks Can be Covered By Your Insurance?



Recommended Posts

Hello please help, I'm very concerned! - Has anyone had a successful relationship with this company? I'm waiting for my Dr. to sign off on the prescription !

How long does it take to receive your products once the company receives your script? Are the Vitamins ok in taste and of sufficient nutrition value?? And does this $5 K scar cream I'm reading about really work?

Thank you for your help.

I've had *MANY* members PM me that they've had very good results using InsureNutrition. The key is to have patience and definitely stay on top of them and your doc.

It bothers me that the insurance company is being billed $5000 for it. That's outrageous. Those costs come back to the insured in the form of higher premiums. This sounds like the scooter folks who are now serving time for insurance fraud. I'm out.

I have heard that quite thrown around here but my insurance receipts didn't say that. They said around $127 and my insurance had their "contracted rate" and so only paid less than half that.

That said, I didn't find the cream worthwhile

I finally was able to get the online request to go through and it generated an email form letter back...says we can also help with scar cream....I will opt out of this though...I have had two other laparoscopic surgeries and no scar cream can completely help and those scars are almost completely faded on their own anyway. If I can get the Vitamins and Protein paid for by insurance I will be more than happy.

Does anyone know if Medicare covers any Protein Drinks etc or do they assume everyone should have surgery under 65 ?

At first I wan't even going to try because I figured my insurance (Tricare) wouldn't cover it, but I said what the heck. It was just a few minutes of my time and the worst that could happen is that they say no and I've only lost a few minutes of time.


My shipment is on it's way! I get the Protein, chewable Vitamins (insurance didn't cover liquid) and scar cream.



Thank you Insure Nutrition!!!


Ok how are you doing this? I’m also tricare...

      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.
