Beginning on May 1, 2011, NY Medicaid will not pay for enteral nutritional formula for most beneficiaries except:
• Beneficiaries who are fed via nasogastric, gastrostomy or jejunostomy tube.
• Beneficiaries with inborn metabolic disorders.
• Children up to 21 years of age, who require liquid oral enteral nutritional formula when there is a documented diagnostic condition where caloric and dietary nutrients from food cannot be absorbed or metabolized.
