COGI is a member of the Patients & Providers for Medical Nutrition Equity Coalition which is committed to seeing the Medical Nutrition Equity Act (HR 6892) passed by Congress so that all Americans will have access to medically necessary foods.
Many states require coverage of medical nutrition, but coverage is highly variable. The MNEA would require coverage of medically necessary nutrition under Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, Medicare, the Federal Employee Health Benefit Program, and private insurance for defined gastrointestinal and metabolic disorders.
