Someone had just posted a day or two ago about free Elecare- they had extra or something.

Also, try calling the company. I initially had the same problem and called Neocate (the other formula) and they sent me a free case the next day.

Also, I think people have said iit's a NY State law the formula is covered if medically warranted. You may want to try calling Apria Healthcare and they can typically try to navigate your insurance company. It's typically covered under medical supplies and not prescriptions.

ETA: Pharmcat2000 had the elecare posting

I tried with my insurance they denied it so many times. I have been lucky on here finding people who are selling it I figured to give it another shot. Three more months of this.

When you call the insurance directly they will say no. Call Apria and they will contact the insurance and will probably get it covered. Every time I contact my inusrance they said the same thing, it has to be given thru a feeding tube to be covered and that was BS. Apria got it covered immediately.

I have about 40 cans of Elecare and 13 cans of Elecare Jr (for babies over 1) I am looking to sell. Do you still need it?
