Insure nutrition

[victoriak419 17]

Hello!

I applied to have Premier Protein covered by my insurance through insure nutrition. They called me today to let me know they were sending in the request to insurance and it could be a few weeks (2 weeks) to hear back. I was looking at my coverage from BCBS of Illinois, and am totally not sure. It states that nutritional supplements are not covered except as stated in the certificate. And I saw nothing else.... ugh! But it also states WLS isn't covered excepted where stated, and it was approved at 100%. Anyone have any idea? Have you gotten your Protein covered? Thanks!

I tried through Insure. My insurance (Cigna) didn't cover it.

I got a call from Insure today, they aren't covering it. Oh well, it was worth a try! I have BCBS of IL

Did you tell them you were interested in the scar cream or just the Protein Shakes? I said yes to everything (I figured why not if insurance pays for it). Today I came home to 4 cases of shakes and the scar cream. Now I'm second guessing everything because other people have been saying it's some kind of scam. I was just reading another forum and someone said that it's really about the scar cream. If insurance will cover it they charge the insurance like $6,000 and throw in the shakes to get us to sign up. If you try to cancel the cream (some people have yearly limits that they met really fast due to the high cost of the cream) they stop sending the shakes. I'm going to call my Rx insurance company tomorrow and see what they say.
