How much was that altogether? And you you mind linking the site you got it and the nutrition info? Please and thank you. also have you tasted them, and are they good or at least not awful? My sense of taste is super sensitive since surgery 4 days ago... XD

I'd love to know as well. Thanks in advance

[lsmith715 55]

I applied at www.insurenutrition.com

I've bought these drinks at BJs and they are very good. I tried them before I was approved. There was a link on the bariatric pal site too.

Good luck!

I didn't pay anything. It was covered 100% by my insurance.

[magicalwoman 190]

Your insurance paid for your shakes? WOW.

I was assigned a worker when I started my journey (through my 6 months supervised program) she said she did not think it was covered. But I believe I read somewhere the meals and Protein shakes may be covered.

I live in WA state and have Uniform Medical through Regence.

It is certainly worth checking into further.

If you don't mind what insurance do you have? When did you have your surgery?

[Cervidae 2,389]

Oh wow, I will definitely look into this, thanks a lot for the info! This could be a huge help to me.

[magicalwoman 190]

I just called them. I have to register online and then they will check it all out and let me know.

They said it takes 2 to 3 weeks to get things done.

I agree this could be a huge savings.

Thanks so much for the information.

I have united healthcare for medical and Caremark for prescriptions. I think this was covered through my prescription plan. They sent 4 cases of Protein Drinks. 1 months supply of bariatric Vitamins, and some scar cream. They said they will send automatically for the next year. I will not have to pay anything out of pocket. From when I applied it's been about 8 weeks total till I received anything.

I also get my shakes from Insure Nutrition. No co-pay. My insurance covers it. I like the chocolate but not the strawberry. I drink one every morning on my way into work :-)

You can also get these at costco and Sam's too. They are about 18.98/box of the shakes. I do drink them daily. Since I was self pay, I never looked into seeing if they could be covered.

Yay for all of you that get them covered!

[magicalwoman 190]

So I just found out, my insurance doesn't cover this. However, they do offer state employees a discount prescription card that will kick in when your Doctor writes an Rx for anything not covered inclusive over the counter supplements, and meds. So if my Dr. writes me a Rx for the supplements, I can use the card which generally discounts 10 to 50%.

Guess that is better than nothing. Thanks for this information and at least getting me hunting that may save me some money.

How long does it take for them to get back to you with an answer? Im gonna fill out the application tomorrow. Anyone have any luck with horizon blue cross blue shield?

[lsmith715 55]

It took about 6 -8 weeks total from application to delivery.

@@magicalwoman they are currently on sale on Costco.com 19.99 for 18 shakes. Although my FSA account covers them from my Drs office BUT I'm paying double for the same amount! So I was looking for a less expensive way to stock up Pre-op!
