Debbie.....
Make sure you get a script for the Boost/Jevity. My insurance co. also balked at covering that particular expense but I fought them on it and I won. Canned liquid food is the only way your husband will recieve the nutrition and calories he needs to heal, he has no other option.
Good Luck!
SIncerely,
Donna
