Insurance and Formula
Does anyone get their insurance to pay for their formula or part of it? If so, how did you get it covered by insurance?
LO has bad eczema. Originally the pedi thought it was craddle cap. Then it started spreading to the rest of his body when I stopped nursing. When we went for LO's 4 month check up, his eczema looked the worst its evey been (I felt like a terrible mom). The pedi seems to think he may have a food allergy since I have them too and his eczema appeared all over his body after I stopped with BM. Plus he rubs his eyes a lot more which was my symptom of allergies when I was younger. Now he has to get blood work done and switch formulas to Nutragamin. I remember someone on this board mentioning they were able to get their formula covered/partly covered by insurance. The pedi warned me that Nutragamin is more expensive then gentlease. I hope insurance will take pity on me and cover some of the formula. Hopefully we can switch to solids soon but I have veggie and fruit allergies too. I hope LO does not get those.
Sorry for the long story. Just frustrated. TIA!

Ours does.
A friend of mine got a prescription for formula and insurance gave her a 9 month supply for about $90.
It wasn't a special kind, just regular formula.
