Who did you call back, the supplier or Abbott? If you didn't call Abbott, I would give them a call and find out what this stuff really costs. I couldn't find exectly what you were taking on their web site. I know the rental cost on my suction machine can double for the same machine depending on which suuplier the insurance company uses. It wouldn't surprise me if it not the same for things like Jevity.
Meanwhile Carnation VHC has 560 calories and while Ensure Plus has only 350 so VHC is lots more calories per can.
Take care,
Eileen
