Insurance to pay for protein shakes



Recommended Posts

I am going to try it, I just completed the forms and hopefully its approved, I am currently paying 80 bucks a month or Protein shakes and $150 every 90 days for Vitamins, so hopefully its approve if not I will continue to pay for them.

Insure Nutritions works! Not a scam, as long as your insurance covers Protein supplements. They also send you a cream for scars and bariatric Vitamins, only thing I paid was the shipping. I had to stay on the doctors office and Insure Nutritions people about faxing, signing and sending prescriptions.

Hello, was wondering did your insurance carrier pay for Protein Shakes? I heard of a site name insurenutrition.com and they accept insurance. Some say it's a scam and some say it not a scam.

They got mine approved w/inscription Co along w/bars. Urban Dr has to approve & sign a paper they fax them.

I have a question about Premier shakes. My doctor says that I need to make sure that my Protein Shakes have whey Protein isolate as the first ingredient. Like iso pure and Bariatric Advantage and Unjury. Premier's first ingredient has whey protein concentrate, which she told me to stay away from. Does anyone know the difference? Will insurance pay for any other protein shakes other than premier?

It probably would be a very good idea to call your doctor or whoever is signing this off as a prescription, and explain you need this. my doc is very one on one and would sign this if i asked... but perhaps having it come at them in the mail without your input, they don't know and don't sign. Call your doc and explain it is coming, and please sign. Even tell them perhaps what you are spending and that this would really help.

Even the ones that didn't sign, perhaps you can call the doc and explain. One on one really helps with things like this.

Also remember, this may very likely be a tax deduction.. it is medically needed. Talk to your tax person.

      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.
