Insurance Covered Baby Formula Now Offering Hypoallergenic Formulas

Parents can now access hypoallergenic baby formulas covered by insurance.

Insurance Covered Baby Formula, a company that focuses on making the access of baby formula affordable through insurance, has announced that they will now be selling hypoallergenic baby formulas. These are formulas that are made for children who are allergic to the protein found in soy and cow mil.

According to the information released on the website, “Nutramigen Formula with Enflora LGG is a 20 Cal/fl oz, iron-fortified, lactose-free, hypoallergenic infant formula designed for infants who are allergic to the intact proteins in cow's milk and soy formulas. Nutramigen with Enflora LGG has extensively hydrolyzed casein protein to help avoid an immune system response by reducing the allergen exposure, and the probiotic branded LGG to help support the strength of the intestinal barrier and support digestive health.”

The company also highlighted the fact that most parents are concerned about long term use and this is what they had to say, “In cases of continued food allergies or intolerances, Nutramigen with Enflora LGG is sometimes used as a milk substitute in the diet of children beyond 12 months of age. When Nutramigen is used as a milk substitute beyond 12 months of age, the total calcium content of the diet should be assessed. Extended use of Nutramigen with Enflora LGG (or other infant formulas) as a sole source of diet is most appropriately monitored by physicians and nutritionists on a case-by-case basis.”
