My experience with insurance is He who yells loudest wins. Call then everyday and appeal over and over until you win. Look into getting medicaid as a secondary insurance and they usually will pay for what the insurance won't, if you can qualify.
We have Kaiser, and when we switched to Nutreen 2.0, they covered it a little easier, but I am not sure if there is an age restriction for it or not.
In the meantime, I would mix the scandishakes with half and half and use that until you can get the insurance to cover the other. But as always, check with your doc and nutritionist first.
It is pretty dumb of them to pay for everything else that you need, which is a good point to use that he needs this. I too would use the its cheaper than being in the hospital. I just used the you will save over $400,000. per year if we can get what we need to take care of our son at home or we can go to the hospital at least 4x's a year for 2 or 3 weeks at an aver costs of $126,500+ per hospitalization and I got an approval within 3 days.
Good Luck
