: : PLEASE REPLY IF YOU KNOW OF ANY INSURANCE THAT CAN COVER NEOCATE FORMULA. I'M IN CALIFORNIA.
: mY SON HAS BEEN ON NEOCATE SINCE HE WAS 8 WEEKS OLD. HE WAS IN A CHILDRENS HOSP. AND ALMOST DIED. mY INSURANCE..MID ATLANTIC HEALTH PLAN IN DELAWARE DOES PAY FOR MY SONS NEOCATE. i HAVE HEARD OF MANY BATTLES TO GET THE FORMULA COVERED BY MANY DIFFERENT INSURANCE COMPANIES.WE WERE VERY LUCKY. THE GI DOC HAD WRITTEN A LETTER TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY STATING THAT IT IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF NOURISHMENT FOR HIM AND WITHOUT IT, HE WOULD DIE!
: My son is also on Neocate. (protien intolerence / with malasorbtion disorder) He also would haved died & still could if he doesn't have this formula.
So sorry to hear your family is having to experience this NIGHTMARE FROM HELL also. As for insurance, I know that United Health Care will cover it, but you have to check the policy. Certain EPO's will cover it, depending on how large the company you work for is. If it's an international company, your chances are better.
Bets of Luck!!!! Hope everything works out for you & your family.
