Summary

Health insurance; required coverage for medically necessary amino acid-based elemental formulas. Requires health insurers, health care subscription plans, and health maintenance organizations to provide coverage for the provision of medically necessary amino acid-based elemental formulas, regardless of delivery method, for the treatment of Immunoglobulin E and non-Immunoglobulin E mediated allergies to multiple food proteins, food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome, eosinophilic disorders, and impaired absorption of nutrients caused by disorders affecting the absorptive surface, functional length, and motility of the gastrointestinal tract. Coverage is also required for the diagnosis of such conditions.
