Hoping someone has had some experience in obtaining insurance coverage (in Canada) for enteral feeding therapy.
My son's initial treatment was a 6-week enteral treatment using Tolerex. He responded well to the treatment and his continued treatment will be a 'maintenance' therapy still using Tolerex (the only other medication he is being given are antacids).
My company has a premium insurance package but the insurance company is saying that Tolerex is only a nutritional supplement and is not considered a medical treatment, hence, not covered by our insurance plan.
Has anyone else had any experience with this? I have tried to explain that in my son's case, this is being used as his only treatment, thus it is not 'just' a nutritional supplement but to no avail...
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!
