The Patients and Providers for Medical Nutrition Equity Coalition is a group of patient organizations and clinicians involved with disorders that require medical nutrition to maintain health. We are working to pass the Medical Nutrition Equity Act (S-1194, HB-2587), which will extend the coverage for medical nutrition that Congress passed in 2016 for TRICARE patients to other insured Americans who have inherited metabolic disorders/inborn errors of metabolism and other disorders on the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel, medical and surgical conditions of malabsorption, Immunoglobulin E and non-Immunoglobulin E-mediated allergies to food proteins, inflammatory or immune mediated conditions of the alimentary tract, and other diseases or conditions determined appropriate by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
