Insurance pays for nutritional supplements



Recommended Posts

My understanding is the insurance may pay for nutritional supplements. You should check your plan for requirements. The supplements would have to be designated as a medical necessity. There should be a form that your insurance has you complete and and sign by your doctors office my understanding this is a one time certification.

There is a company that my nutritionist told me about... He said if I asked my doctor to write a prescription for me, many insurances covered it. It's a mailed prescription service... I'll see if I can find it. However, I found a suitable chewable Multivitamin at Walgreens and Walgreens usually has their Vitamins on a 3 month 'buy one, get one free' rotation.

I have $25 but since I'm revision I got very used to all my old Vitamins and supplements. I'm willing to give it a month but pretty much know I will go back to my old stuff. Not big on the B12 nasal spray or taste of new ones

I use Insure Nutrition. Each month I get 2 cases of premier Protein, Multivitamin, B12 and folic acid. Everything is covered 100% by my insurance. Check them out! I really like them.

      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.
