We've given ourselves a face-lift. Let us know what you think. Medical Home Project Dr. David Hirsch, Phoenix Pediatrics, is currently attempting to get legislation presented that if passed would guarantee that certain enteral formulas are covered uniformly by Medicaid and private insurers. Currently they are under no obligation to cover enteral or supplementary feeding products even if medically indicated, for nutritional purposes. It is an issue of cost.
Enteral formulas are very expensive because so much is used.
Technically, the insurance companies are not the bad guys, the state is. That is why Dr. Hirsch wants to make the change legislatively. Dr. Hirsch is working with various dieticians and formula companies to try to get changes made. Call or write your Representatives, call or write your Senator today. Tell them how important this is to you, to all of us in Arizona.
