Therapeutic Formula

WIC's Role
If one of WIC's contract formulas is not appropriate for your patients, there may be a medical condition warranting a therapeutic formula. As part of the patient's treatment plan, therapeutic formulas should be covered by the health plan when the clinician provides adequate medical justification. WIC can provide formula temporarily while coverage is pending. Should your patient be denied coverage by Medi-Cal or other health insurance, WIC may provide the therapeutic formula. WIC will require a prescription* as well as a letter of denial from the health plan or Medi-Cal.



Formula Options

Choose the formula that is right for your patient. Below are the options provided by WIC.

WIC Contract Formulas (No Rx required)

Therapeutic Formulas (Rx Required)

*Note: Prescription must include patient name, birth date, name of formula, medical diagnosis, amount needed per day, duration, and signature of healthcare provider.
