Insure Nutrition - Insurance pays for vitamins?

I have been reading the Insure Nutrition website and was wondering-

Has anyone had their insurance pay for their supplements? The insure nutrition advertisement on this site says that they will call your insurance and Dr for information to receive approval. That once they get approval, they ship to your home at no cost.

Is this a scam or has anyone had this actually work?

It would depend on your insurance.  Most insurance plans don't cover things that are available over the counter.  Mine doesn't.  It would pay for prescription vitamin D, if I wanted my doc to write a script for that, but since the prescription stuff is D2 which we don't absorb well, I prefer to get D3 over the counter and pay for it myself. 

Insure Nutrition submitted to my insurance and my insurance policy (Aetna) does cover Protein drinks.  My surgeon refused to sign the prescription though because I am past 6 months post op (I am one year out in two weeks).  My surgeon thinks I shouldn't be using protein drinks after 6 months and should only be using food as a protein source.  I am going to try it the surgeon's way for a few weeks to see how it goes but if I can't meet my protein goals without one shake a day I will ask my PCP (per Poet Kelly's suggestion) to write a prescription for me for the protein drinks.  

So its worth a try, i think. and i see now that its protein drinks they seek payment for.
