AI Summary
This bill requires certain health insurance plans, including individual and group policies, to provide coverage for the cost of enteral formulas (tube feeding or oral) that are medically necessary and prescribed by a physician to treat specific disorders, such as inherited metabolic diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, and severe food allergies. The bill specifies that these enteral formulas must be proven effective for the treatment of these conditions, which can lead to malnutrition, chronic physical or intellectual disability, or death if left untreated. The bill distinguishes these medically necessary enteral formulas from elective nutritional supplements.
