Re: Insurance for Pediasure - We have Coverage

February 18, 2005

All I did was to go to our local health department and asked for that letter.

Then I take that letter and get it signed by her doctor, and then bring the

signed paper back to the WIC appointment. I wouldn't trust them too much on

helping me or anyone else anymore. They even turned me in to the CPS one time,

because of my FTT daughter, so I would be careful with them. Just go in, and ask

for that form, I think it's called a formula request form, but I need to double

check. They now now, that she really needs this Pediasure and don't even ask me

anymore questions, and happily give me the vouchers for the 20 boxes (or 120

cans) a month.

It's free, and why go through all the trouble with your insurance company, even

if you are on medicaid like us, or a regular insurance company.

Good luck,

Thanks for the WIC idea...I am currently trying to get an

appointment and my Pediatrician wrote a letter of medical

necessity. Now I just need to get WIC to call me back...2 messages

so far. Did it take a while for them to get back to you?

> We get 120 cans of Pediasure a month through WIC. That is about 20

boxes, or 5 cases. We do have to go back to the health department

every 3 months instead of 6, but it is nice to know that we can get

our Pediasure through the health department and with no questions

asked from them. All you need is for your child's doctor to sign

this certain piece of paper that you get at the health department

every three months.
