Illinois WIC Program Nutrition Practice Standard- Explanation of WIC Food Benefits Letter July 2016

Nutrition Practice Standards are provided to assist staff in translating policy into practice. This guidance is intended to be used in conjunction with the Illinois WIC Policy and Procedure Manual. The Illinois WIC Program Formulary includes certain exempt infant formulas and WIC eligible nutritionals. These items comply with the definition in section 412(h) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21U.S.C. 350a(h)) and meet the requirements under section 412 of the Federal Food, Drug Act (21 U.S.C. 350a) and regulations at 21 CFR parts 106 and 107. These items are referred to as “Medically Prescribed Formulas.” The Formulary is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure a sufficient variety of products is available, however WIC is a supplemental program and will not meet everyone’s needs. For participants who have a current medical card, Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) may authorize payment for non-WIC formulas, participants who are 100% tube fed or for quantities exceeding what WIC can provide. Participants must go through a Durable Medical Equipment 1 (DME) provider who will supply the formula and process the necessary paperwork to submit to HFS for payment. The purpose of the Explanation of WIC Food Benefits letter is to assist with program integrity efforts by standardizing communication with HFS to ensure participants are not receiving formula products from both programs.

When to Complete the Explanation of WIC Food Benefits Letter:

WIC participants may present to the clinic with a WIC Formula and Medical Nutritional Prescriptions form requesting: • A WIC approved formula, in which the prescribed amount exceeds the amount provided by WIC, (overage).

o In these instances WIC CHPs may offer a referral for medically prescribed formula assistance from HFS. Staff should make the prescribing health professional aware of the amount WIC can provide.

• A formula not offered on the WIC Formulary (non-WIC formula) o The WIC Formulary is shared annually with HFS therefore a letter from WIC is not needed. Staff should

advise the prescribing health professional of viable options provided through WIC. o If the health professional is not willing to change to a WIC Formulary product participants should be advised

to work through a DME provider who contracts with HFS to try and obtain the product. • A WIC approved formula in which the participant does not consume food orally (NPO) and is fed 100% via a

feeding tube. In these instances, WIC CHP’s may offer a referral for medically prescribed formula assistance from HFS and the participant would not receive benefits through WIC.

o WIC Staff should complete the HFS Explanation of WIC Food Benefits letter so the participant can obtain the full prescription amount through HFS. The participant should be instructed to return to WIC when feedings by mouth resume to be re-evaluated.

FI08- Medically Prescribed Formula: In order to clearly respond to questions regarding possible fraud or abuse of the program and to encourage agency staff to assess potential use of DME services, the following question must be answered when providing a Medically Prescribed formula. “Does the participant receive formula through a DME provider?” See below for guidance on how to answer this question.

Scenario How to Answer Reason

Receiving formula through WIC & DME

Y

Overage: The participant is currently receiving formula through a DME provider. Document what the participant is receiving and the name of the DME provider from whom services are being received in case notes. Other: Participants who are receiving formula through a DME provider and WIC. Determination as to whether this is appropriate needs to be assessed on a case by case basis. Contact your Regional Nutritionist Consultant.

100% tube fed, provided 1 month of formula until DME services initiated

N The participant is not currently receiving formula through a DME provider. Document pertinent information in case notes.

Ineligible, terminated, never certified in WIC

Cornerstone screens would not be completed.

1 Each local agency needs to determine the DME provider(s) available in their community to whom participants may be referred for additional formula assistance.

How to Complete the Explanation of WIC Food Benefits Letter: Step 1: Obtain a completed WIC Formula and Medical Nutritional Prescriptions form; ensure all required information

is documented as indicated in the Illinois WIC PPM, Supplemental Food section. (If the participant is terminated/ineligible, a prescription form is not required)

Step 2: Complete the Explanation of WIC Food Benefits letter

A. Name of participant Date of Birth Check the appropriate box regarding the participants eligibility status:

• if active, indicate the certification and termination dates • if terminated, indicate the date participant terminated from the program • if not eligible, indicate ineligible for WIC

If the participant is terminated or ineligible for the program, continue with E. and complete the remaining steps

B. Indicate name of formula prescribed C. Check the appropriate box regarding what WIC is providing to the participant:

• Not receiving formula from WIC o ingesting formula solely through a feeding tube and is not taking anything by mouth o if 1 month of formula is provided until the DME process is initiated, check this box and

indicate the date ranges on the food instruments • Receiving formula from WIC

• If the participant takes formula or food orally but the amount that WIC provides does not meet the amount prescribed by the physician. Complete the chart indicating the amount of formula provided by WIC for each month according to the WIC formulary for the entire certification period of the participant. If there is a change in the product prescribed during this timeframe and an overage is still warranted, a new referral letter should be completed.

D. Include participant contact information and any pertinent comments to clearly explain the situation and assist with the approval request from WIC’s perspective. For example, a change in formula resulting in completion of a new letter, etc.

E. Sign, date, include name of local agency and telephone number Step 3: Keep a copy of the WIC Formula and Medical Nutritional Prescriptions form and letter in the participant file.

Document pertinent information in case notes. Step 4: Instruct the participant/caretaker to take the completed letter with original WIC Formula and Medical

Nutritional Prescriptions form to a DME provider who contracts with HFS. The DME will then submit the request to HFS for approval and subsequent reimbursement. Allow 30 days for HFS approval/authorization for the request.

If the DME provider or HFS should decline the referral/request, the participant should be referred to the Family Case Manager and/or sources of financial or food assistance in the community. Formula manufacturers may also have patient assistance programs available; refer to the appropriate website for further information. In addition, the participant should be instructed to communicate with their physician regarding the denial, ability of the participant to obtain the prescribed formula, the amount of formula they are receiving and what products are available through WIC.

NPS BF Food Packages 2.16.docx 1

Illinois WIC Program Nutrition Practice Standard – Breastfeeding Food Packages October 2014, Revised February 2016 Food packages for infants and women are designed to strengthen WIC’s breastfeeding promotion efforts and provide additional incentives to assist mothers in making the decision to initiate and continue to breastfeed. The breastfeeding assessment and the mother’s plans for breastfeeding serve as the basis for determining food package issuance. The infant feeding options available are designed to support breastfeeding by providing as little formula as possible to those moms who choose to breastfeed. The infant’s breastfeeding status is also used to determine the mother’s food packages therefore, the mother and infant pair are referred to as a “dyad”. The food packages allow for the following infant feeding options: First month after birth:

Exclusively Breastfeeding Breastfeeding women whose infants do not receive formula from WIC

Formula feeding Non- breastfeeding women Breastfeeding women whose infants receive formula

1 month through 12 months:

Exclusively Breastfeeding Breastfeeding women whose infants do not receive formula from WIC

Partially Breastfed Breastfeeding women whose infants receive formula in amounts that do not exceed the Federally established maximum allowances for infants receiving supplemental formula

Fully formula feeding

Non- breastfeeding women Breastfeeding women whose infants receive formula in amounts that exceed the maximum allowances for the partially breastfed infant packages.

Food Packages: Food packages for the exclusively breastfeeding dyad (Grand Deluxe food package tables) are designed to supplement their special nutritional needs and serve as incentives for women to exclusively breastfeed. The exclusively breastfeeding dyad receives the largest quantity and variety of foods in their food packages and do not receive formula through WIC. Partial breastfeeding packages provide supplemental formula in amounts that do not exceed the Federal maximum allowed based on age and provide approximately half the amount of formula of a full formula package. This was designed to encourage mothers to feed more breastmilk than formula to their infants. Providing supplemental formula to a new breastfeeding mom may interfere with her milk production and breastfeeding success. The amount of milk a breastfeeding woman produces depends directly on how often and how long she nurses. To help moms successfully establish breastfeeding, the partial breastfeeding food packages are not available for issuance until one month postpartum. Partially breastfeeding

NPS BF Food Packages 2.16.docx 2

women receive a greater quantity and variety of foods in their food packages than moms who fully formula feed. Mothers who breastfeed but request formula in amounts that exceed the allowed Federal maximum for supplemental formula in the Partial Breastfeeding (Deluxe) food packages are still certified as breastfeeding, however they will only receive supplemental WIC foods until the infant is 6 months old. After 6 months, program benefits include nutrition education, breastfeeding promotion and support and referrals to health and other social services. The food instruments provided (food package #240) will be of zero value and contain a positive WIC message. Both mother and baby must be issued packages from the Breastfeeding Basic food tables. An explanation of the different food packages available should be discussed during the prenatal period, typically the last trimester, and include the following:

• the length of time she is eligible to receive program benefits depending on her breastfeeding status

• amounts and types of foods she will receive • amounts and types of foods her baby will receive • breastfed infants will not routinely receive formula within the first month of life

Food Package Tables: Food package tables were designed to facilitate correct food package assignment for the mother infant dyad. Each set of tables clearly identify what group the packages are issued to: Exclusively Breastfeeding (Grand Deluxe), Partially Breastfeeding (Deluxe), Breastfeeding but receiving maximum amount of formula (Breastfeeding Basic) and Fully Formula feeding (Basic). Infant packages are listed first and mom’s packages second within the same table. Use the appropriate table to assign both mom and baby’s food packages. For example, if an infant is assigned a food package from the Grand Deluxe- Exclusively Breastfeeding Dyad, mom must also be assigned a food package from this table.

NPS BF Food Packages 2.16.docx 3

Food Package Assignment: Food package assignment is determined by the intensity of breastfeeding and the age of the infant. Determine how much breastfeeding the infant is doing. Use the chart as a guide to determine which category to use for certifying mom and which food package tables to use for assigning packages to both mom and baby.

Intensity of Breastfeeding Category

Table

>1 month Food Package Table

Basic None Postpartum Basic Basic

*Contact your Regional Nutritionist for assistance when issuing Medically Prescribed Formulas to the breastfeeding dyad After delivery: Ideally mom and baby are being certified together. Enter the baby’s information first if possible. If only baby is being certified and mom is exclusively breastfeeding, you can void any remaining valid food instruments that mom has brought into the clinic from her pregnancy certification and re-issue to a Grand Deluxe (exclusively breastfeeding) package. If mom is breastfeeding and requests formula during the infant’s first month of life discuss her concerns and support her in her decision. The goal is to provide the minimal amount of supplemental formula she needs, while offering counseling and support in order to help her establish and maintain a successful milk supply. Women who are breastfeeding and become pregnant are allowed the nutritional benefit from the increased quantity and variety of foods offered to exclusively breastfeeding women. Breastfeeding women will need to be terminated and re-certified as Pregnant to issue food packages. The food packages that must be used for this particular instance are identified in the Pregnant food package table under the heading, “women who are partially or exclusively breastfeeding and become pregnant.” Package changes: The infant’s breastfeeding status is used to determine mom’s package. Therefore, if a package change is requested that results in a change in the intensity of breastfeeding, such as exclusive breastfeeding to partial breastfeeding or partial to full formula, valid food instruments for both mom and baby (if applicable) are needed to re-issue. If mom has spent her food instruments, FIs for both mom and baby may not be reissued until it is time to re-print for mom. Education on the re-issuance process should be provided at the time of issuance. When changing a breastfed infant’s food package, use the service code “WUII” WIC Update Infant Info. The F11 key takes the user from the Service Entry screen to the PA09 screen to update the breastfeeding information, to the AS02 screen to change the food package and then to the appropriate screens for voiding and re-issuing those food instruments.
