Do you feel insurance companies should cover infant formula to treat a medical condition? - milk soy protein intolerance
Babies with a milk soy protein intolerance (MSPI) were born, can not tolerate infant formula with soy milk or a derivative, and thus have to deny using the formula of the most expensive insurance coverage, if the formula is used as a prescribed treatment . Baby Formula MSPI take, for example Elecare can Vivonex vary from $ 35 - $ 50 per box. These doses last 3 days. If you're lucky, sometimes you can find cans for sale on eBay. Some parents are forced to use credit cards or borrow in order to determine the cost of formula. When our son had MSPI formula alone costs more than $ 4,000.

Of course! It is a medical condition, and sometimes allergic to milk may be harmful. Check with your local WIC. Sometimes the income limits are exceeded high and your doctor can.
Help Yes, they should, but you have heard of the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Maybe they can, or ask your doctor whether there are other programs that can contribute to these costs. Also in the Mfg. maybe I could send coupons?
I know I'm thumbs down on this ...
No, I do not think insurance companies should cover the formula. Since I do not believe that insurers should be for the vegetarian shopping list, if someone can not tolerate meat to pay.
Unfortunately, yes. But the responsibility for someone else sounds like a cop out. What insurance to pay for baby food, and try to take another 100 "parasites", the food for your baby, how to get comped.
It is very sad that the term 'special is so expensive - back to the manufacturer for problems, instead of trying to bury them on their insurance. The manufacturer will never change if you do so.
when it is very expensive and it is medically necessary and that the doctor has prescribed, then, if some do not pay your insurance. I suspect that their premiums are sky high. Unfortunately we had to live with it. Could not tolerate milk? Who is so lame that the insurance does not cover the formula. What a nightmare.
Always WIC and breastfeeding is free ...
