States findings of the Legislature and requests that the Department of Insurance consult with insurance industry leaders to determine how to make medically necessary prescription formula available to infants and children in Idaho.

Insurers in Idaho typically do not cover prescription formula for infants and children. This resolution calls for the Department of Insurance to consult with leaders in the insurance industry to determine how to make medically necessary prescription formula available for infants and children suffering from certain serious conditions, notably eosinophilic esophagitis, Crohn’s disease, malnutrition or failure to thrive, seizure disorders requiring a ketogenic diet, conditions requiring tube feeding, and other conditions in which medically necessary prescription treatment is a recommended treatment. The Department of Insurance is requested to collect data, ascertain the costs of such coverage, and report findings and recommendations, if any, to the Legislature.
