I would ask her about her experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-allergy-was-your-formula-covered-by-insurance#post-507901 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 13:22:03 +0000 brownie 507901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't try. We are going to deduct the difference between what a regular baby eats and the cost of what our baby eats on our taxes. Because formula in our case was supplemental food. I know one mother has finally been able to get her formula covered. You should be able to use a Flex Spending account on it if you get the prescription. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-allergy-was-your-formula-covered-by-insurance#post-507886 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 13:19:03 +0000 sorrycharlie 507886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>glad you guys have an answer, poor girl! I don't have any info though :( I think @winniebee was dealing with something like this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-allergy-was-your-formula-covered-by-insurance#post-507876 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 13:17:12 +0000 purrpletulips 507876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience, hoping your insurance covers it and think I recall @winniebee posting something about her issues with getting it covered by her insurance on a board post. You might want to search. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-allergy-was-your-formula-covered-by-insurance#post-507849 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 13:04:24 +0000 Alivoo01 507849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience, but hoping your insurance does cover it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-allergy-was-your-formula-covered-by-insurance#post-507804 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 12:43:44 +0000 SugarplumsMom 507804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO developed a milk allergy at 6 months and we've since switched to Nutramigen and so far, it's working! It's expensive (averages out to $12 a day!) a small cost for LO's well-being but we're crossing our fingers that once we get a prescription, it'll be covered by the health care system! We won't know until the end of the week though.</p> <p>If your LO had a similar allergy, did your insurance cover formula? </p>
