(4) Insurance companies will typically cover 
pharmaceuticals or biologics for treatment of some 
of these conditions. However, these types of treat-
ments may not be the first-line therapy a physician 
would recommend, do not work for all patients, and 
can have undesirable risks, such as cancer or sup-
pression of the immune system, which can increase 
a patient’s risk of infection. 
(5) Even when an insurance company does 
cover medically necessary food, it often comes with 
the stipulation that the formula be administered 
through a feeding tube, which requires expensive 
surgery and carries additional risks for the patient. 
(6) Testing for select inborn errors of metabo-
lism is required in all States, and more than 7,000 
babies per year are diagnosed with an inherited met-
abolic disorder. Yet, policies on medically necessary 
food vary significantly and do not always make it 
possible for families to get sufficient nutrition for 
their affected children.
