We switched to @UHC (United Healthcare) in March. They refuse to pay for the formula for my son’s g-tube feeds (he cannot eat orally). The formula:
1) costs $500/month
2) has always been covered for him since birth (once I had to briefly fight for it, on Twitter) (1/4)
3) should definitely be covered, according to the case manager assigned to us who now refuses to return my calls
4) is covered for literally all her other patients with no problem, according to my son’s provider.

The single most difficult aspect of having a kid with (2/4)
multiple intensive disabilities is not anything he does or what he’s like. It’s shit like this, where companies like @UHC make me call, refuse to hear his providers who told @UHC it’s fatal for him to lack access to his formula.(3/4)
And I’m struggling to keep calling because I just want to give up. Even though I know that’s exactly what they count on. (4/4)
