Third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid programs, cover Abbott Nutrition products in some cases. Coverage guidelines and processes vary, and the payers determine reimbursement case by case. More often, coverage exists in situations in which there is medical necessity for a feeding tube, when medical foods are needed for inborn errors of metabolism, or when a specialty product is needed for an infant or a child.

This section provides general information, codes used for billing, and answers to frequently asked questions. The best way to determine if coverage is available for a particular nutritional product is to contact the insurance company directly.
