Arizona WIC Program Original: March 1997 Policy and Procedure Manual 4-4 Revision: July 2017
Section A Formula Terminology
Contract Formula Contract formulas are formulas for which the Arizona WIC program has contracted with the formula manufacturer to receive a rebate when purchased by a WIC participant. Standard Contract Formulas Standard contract formulas (20 kcal/oz) are routine contract formulas provided by the Arizona WIC Program that do not require medical documentation. The Arizona WIC Program provides the two following standard contract formulas:
• Similac Advance • Gerber Good Start Soy
Nineteen kcal/oz Contract Formulas Nineteen kcal/oz contract formulas are a type of contract formula that require medical documentation since they do not meet the USDA’s definition of infant formula due to lower kcal/oz concentration. The Arizona WIC Program provides the three following 19 kcal/oz contract formulas:
• Similac Sensitive • Similac For Spit-Up • Similac Total Comfort
Non-Contract Formula Non-contract formulas are formulas that are nutritionally equivalent to contract formulas, but for which the Arizona WIC Program does not receive a manufacturer’s rebate. Cost containment measures significantly restrict the approval/issuance of these formulas. Approval/issuance of these formulas requires medical documentation and they are reserved only for specific situations. The Arizona WIC Program’s non-contract formulas include, but are not limited to:
• Enfamil Infant • Gerber Good Start Gentle • Similac Soy Isomil • Enfamil Prosobee • Enfamil Gentlease • Gerber Good Start Soothe • Enfamil Reguline • Enfamil AR
Chapter Four – Food Package – Formula
Arizona WIC Program Original: March 1997 Policy and Procedure Manual 4-5 Revision: July 2017
Special Formula Special formulas are formulas for which the Arizona WIC program does not receive a manufacturer’s rebate, and are intended for use by participants who have inborn errors of metabolism, premature or low birth weight infants, or participants who otherwise have a documented medical or dietary condition. The Arizona WIC Program’s special formulas include, but are not limited to:
• Similac Alimentum • Nutramigen with Enflora LGG • Gerber Extensive HA • Similac Neosure • Enfamil Enfacare • Elecare for Infants • Pregestimil • PurAmino • Alfamino Infant • Neocate Infant
For a list of Arizona WIC Program’s special formulas, reference the Arizona WIC Program’s Formulary. WIC-Eligible Nutritionals WIC-eligible nutritionals are a subcategory of special formulas that are specifically formulated to provide enteral nutrition support for individuals with a qualifying condition, when the use of conventional foods is precluded, restricted, or inadequate. Such WIC-eligible nutritionals shall serve the purpose of a food, meal, or diet (may be nutritionally complete or incomplete) and provide a source of calories and one or more nutrients; be designed for enteral digestion via an oral or tube feeding; and may not be a conventional food, drug, flavoring, or enzyme. The Arizona WIC Program’s WIC-eligible nutritionals include, but are not limited to:
• Elecare Junior • Alfamino Junior • Neocate Junior • Carnation Breakfast Essentials • Ensure • Glucerna Meal Bars • Glucerna Shake
For a list of Arizona WIC Program’s WIC-eligible nutritionals, reference the Arizona WIC Program’s Formulary. Conditionally Special Formula Conditionally special formulas are a subcategory of WIC-eligible nutritionals that must also meet additional Arizona WIC conditions for approval. The Arizona WIC Program provides the three following conditionally special formulas:
• Pediasure • Pediasure with Fiber • Boost Kid Essentials

Chapter Four – Food Package – Formula
Arizona WIC Program Original: March 1997 Policy and Procedure Manual 4-8 Revision: July 2017
Partially Complete Medical Documentation Medical documentation is considered partially complete if it is missing one or more of the written medical documentation requirements, but contains, at a minimum:
• Name of formula requested • Diagnosis • Prescriptive authority’s signature
If partially complete medical documentation is received, RDs, RNs, and State-Approved Nutritionists shall take the following steps.
1) Attempt to contact the prescriptive authority that completed the medical documentation to obtain the missing required information verbally. If successful, scan the medical documentation into HANDS and issue the requested formula for up to three months. Document in HANDS the missing information obtained in addition to the name of the person that verbally provided the information. Also request that the prescriptive authority provide the complete written medical documentation within 30 days (e.g., via fax).
1a) If the complete written medical documentation has not been received after the original
issuance period (up to three months), the Local Agency shall not issue additional formula without first contacting the State Food Package Specialist or a WIC Nutrition Consultant for consent to do so.
2) If the prescriptive authority cannot be reached, scan the partially complete medical
documentation into HANDS and issue one month of the requested formula. Continue to take steps to obtain complete written medical documentation:
• Continue attempts to contact the prescriptive authority and/or • Ask the participant to return with complete written medical documentation
2a) If complete written medical documentation has not been received after the original one-
month issuance period, the Local Agency shall not issue additional formula without first contacting the State Food Package Specialist or a State WIC Nutrition Consultant for consent to do so.
Invalid Medical Documentation/No Medical Documentation Exists Written medical documentation is considered invalid if it is missing one or more of the following requirements:
• Name of formula requested • Diagnosis • Prescriptive authority’s signature
Chapter Four – Food Package – Formula
Arizona WIC Program Original: March 1997 Policy and Procedure Manual 4-9 Revision: July 2017
Additionally, complete written medical documentation may be deemed invalid by RDs, RNs, and State-Approved Nutritionists for reasons including, but not limited to:
• The type of formula requested is contraindicated for the participant • The diagnosis doesn’t correspond to the type of formula requested • The medical documentation is received after the “Length of time for Food and/or Formula
Request” has expired (e.g., medical documentation was completed in February and the formula was requested for three months, but the medical documentation wasn’t received until June.)
If the RD/RN /State-Approved Nutritionist has received invalid medical documentation or no medical documentation exists, they shall take the following steps:
1) Attempt to contact the prescriptive authority who provided the invalid medical documentation, or a prescriptive authority indicated by the participant in cases where no medical documentation exists, to obtain verbal medical documentation. If successful, issue one month of the requested alternative formula. Document the required information in HANDS in addition to the name of the person that verbally provided the information. Also request that the prescriptive authority provide complete medical documentation within 30 days (e.g., via fax). Invalid medical documentation is not required to be scanned into HANDS.
2) If the prescriptive authority cannot be reached, issue one month of the requested formula (when appropriate), but if the formula requested is contraindicated, or no formula name has been requested, consider the same factors that apply when changing formulas to select and issue one month of an indicated formula. Continue taking steps to obtain complete written medical documentation: a. Continue attempts to contact the prescriptive authority and/or b. Ask the participant to return with complete written medical documentation
2a) If complete written medical documentation has not been received after the original one-
month issuance period, the Local Agency shall not issue additional formula without first contacting the State Food Package Specialist or a WIC Nutrition Consultant for consent to do so.

Section C Formula Approval/Issuance
All medical documentation for requested formulas/foods shall be evaluated and approved by Local Agency designated Registered Dietitians (RDs)/State-Approved Nutritionists or Registered Nurses (RNs). RDs/State-Approved Nutritionists shall meet the requirements as defined in Chapter 7. Registered Nurses shall have a four-year degree and specialize in infant and child health. Registered Nurses shall also have been trained in HANDS and approved by the Local Agency’s State Nutrition Consultant. In order for medical documentation to be approved, it must contain all medical documentation requirements. WIC staff shall not write on written medical documentation after it has been signed by a prescriptive authority including, but not limited to, the completion of required information. All contract formulas appropriate for a condition shall be considered before approval/issuance of special, or non-contract formulas. The RD/RN/State-Approved Nutritionist must also critically evaluate the written medical documentation before approval. For example:
• Is the written medical documentation complete? o If not, would it be considered partially complete or invalid?
• If a special formula or non-contract formula has been requested, is there a contract formula for the medical concern that would be an appropriate alternative?
• Is the medical documentation current (received within the length of time requested)? • Is the type of formula requested appropriate for the medical condition and age of the
participant? (e.g., a WIC-eligible nutritional that is designed for use at one year of age or older is requested for an infant, this would not be appropriate.)
• Does the diagnosis or explanation of need correspond with the type of formula requested? (e.g., Similac PM 60/40 requested for a diagnosis of “formula intolerance” would not be appropriate)
If the RD, RN, or State-Approved Nutritionist has received complete, accurate written medical documentation, the medical documentation shall be scanned into the HANDS Food Package screen, and the requested formula/foods shall be located, approved, and issued in HANDS. If a food package cannot be located in HANDS that meets the client’s needs, the RD, RN, or State-Approved Nutritionist shall submit information required from the Request for New Food Package in HANDS form to the State Food Package Specialist. Formula for Women and Children with Medical Documentation Women and children with special dietary needs may receive formula if a physician determines that the participant has a medical condition which precludes or restricts the use of conventional foods and necessitates the use of formula. New medical documentation for these women and children is required for all standard contract formulas, 19 kcal/oz contract formulas, non-contract formulas, special formulas, WIC-eligible nutritionals, conditionally special formulas, and supplemental foods requiring medical documentation at least yearly.

Arizona WIC Program Original: March 1997 Policy and Procedure Manual 4-11 Revision: July 2017
Supplemental Food Tailoring for Infants, Children, and Women with Medical Documentation When medical documentation has been received, only RDs, RNs, or State-Approved Nutritionists shall tailor WIC supplemental foods for infants and children. Supplemental food tailoring shall correspond to the indications selected by the prescriptive authority on the medical documentation provided. If the prescriptive authority has deferred to the RD/Nutritionist for the selection of appropriate foods to issue to the participant, the RD, RN, or State-Approved Nutritionist shall complete a nutritional assessment to determine foods that are appropriate with consideration to the participant’s health condition(s). In the event that the RD, RN, or State-Approved Nutritionist believes that the supplemental foods requested by the prescriptive authority are contraindicated for the participant, they shall coordinate with the prescriptive authority to determine which food items the participant can safely consume. Local Agency RDs, RNs, or State-Approved Nutritionists shall coordinate with the participant’s health care provider whenever they believe that the supplemental foods issued to the participant should change. Absence of Local Agency WIC Clinic RD/State-Approved Nutritionist In the absence of an RD/RN/State-Approved Nutritionist from the Local Agency WIC clinic, the Local Agency staff member shall take the following steps upon receipt of medical documentation:
1) Attempt to contact an RD/RN/State-Approved Nutritionist at another WIC clinic within the local agency for approval.
2) If an RD/RN/State-Approved Nutritionist at another WIC clinic within the local agency cannot be reached, attempt to contact a WIC Nutrition Consultant at the AZ WIC State Office for approval.
3) Only in the event that an RD/RN/State-Approved Nutritionist/WIC Nutrition Consultant is not able to be reached for approval, issue a one-month supply of the requested formula (may be any formula type listed in Section A with the exception of non-contract formulas) and foods pending the Local Agency RD/RN/State-Approved Nutritionist’s approval.
Approval/Issuance of Standard Contract Formulas WIC Competent Professional Authorities (CPAs) ( Nutrition Education Specialists (NESs), Community Nutrition Workers (CNWs), Registered Dietitians (RDs) etc.) may issue standard contract formulas to infant participants without medical documentation (or in the event that medical documentation has been received for a standard contract formula and no current, approved medical documentation exists in HANDS) until the participant reaches one year of age. However, when medical documentation for a standard contract formula has been provided, and current, approved medical documentation exists in HANDS, it must be approved by an RD, RN, or State-Approved Nutritionist, who may approve it for up to the length of time requested by the prescriptive authority. Approval/Issuance of Routine 19 kcal/oz Contract Formulas Nineteen kcal/oz contract formulas require medical documentation, but do not require specific medical diagnoses to be indicated and, therefore, may be approved for determinations such as “formula intolerance” or “inappropriate growth patterns.” Medical documentation for these formulas must be approved by an RD, RN, or State-Approved Nutritionist, who may approve them for up to the length of time requested by the prescriptive authority.
Chapter Four – Food Package – Formula
Arizona WIC Program Original: March 1997 Policy and Procedure Manual 4-12 Revision: July 2017
Approval/Issuance of Non-Contract Formulas Issuance of non-contract formula is reserved to the following circumstances with complete medical documentation:
1) Transition to an alternate contract formula is medically contraindicated for pre- or post-operative recovery where formula transition would put the participant at risk for compromised nutritional status impacting growth and development.
2) NICU discharge warrants continuation of a tolerated non-contract formula to avoid weight loss in the recovery of a previous Failure to Thrive infant (WIC code 134) or infant who has experienced inadequate growth (WIC code 135).
3) Participants with a genetic or congenital disorder (WIC code 349) where formula transition would put infant at risk for compromised nutritional status impacting growth and development.
4) Participants diagnosed with central nervous system disorders (WIC code 348) and/or genetic/congenital disorders (WIC code 349) where formula transition would put the participant at risk for compromised nutritional status impacting growth and development.
After assessment, if a participant meets one of the four previously mentioned criteria for non-contract formula with valid medical documentation, the Local Agency shall contact the State Food Package Specialist or a State WIC Nutrition Consultant for consent for approval. Local Agencies’ policies differ regarding which individuals may contact the State WIC Office to discuss the approval of Non-Contract Formulas, so it is recommended that WIC staff be familiar with Local Agency policy before contacting the State WIC Office. After consent is provided by the State employee and approved in HANDS, all relevant medical information shall be documented in the notes section in HANDS. If medical documentation has been received, but the infant does not meet the criteria for non-contract formula issuance, the Local Agency RD/RN/State-Approved Nutritionist shall take the same steps that apply when invalid/no medical documentation exists. One month of any non-contract formula shall not be issued without prior consent for approval from the State Food Package Specialist or a State WIC Nutrition Consultant. Out-of-state transfer using non-contract formula
1) If a participant transfers from another state and requests a non-contract formula (without medical documentation), explain to the participant or caregiver transferring into Arizona that each state may have different contract formulas.
2) If the participant is consuming a formula for which there is a comparable standard contract formula, the Local Agency CPA shall recommend transitioning to the comparable standard contract formula and issue it to the participant if agreed upon by the participant.
3) If problems arise with the comparable standard contract formula, or if the participant is consuming a formula for which the comparable formula for the non-contract formula is a 19 kcal/oz contract formula, then the Local Agency RD/RN/State-Approved Nutritionist shall take the same steps that apply when invalid/no medical documentation exists.
Chapter Four – Food Package – Formula
Arizona WIC Program Original: March 1997 Policy and Procedure Manual 4-13 Revision: July 2017
Approval/Issuance of Special Formulas Special formulas require medical documentation to specify medical diagnoses that correspond to the formula requested. Medical documentation for these formulas must be approved by an RD, RN, or State-Approved Nutritionist, who may approve them for up to the length of time requested by the prescriptive authority. Special formulas are not authorized for participants receiving Food Package III whose conditions can be successfully managed by contract formulas, or one of the standard food packages. They shall also not be authorized for non-specific food or formula intolerance and are not to be authorized for the sole purpose of enhancing nutrient intake or managing body weight without an underlying medical condition. For any special formula issuance, participants shall be instructed on how to obtain the formula. WIC staff shall ensure participants know whether the formula can be found on the retail shelf or must be ordered through a store pharmacy. Refer to the Formula Color Chart or the Arizona WIC Program’s Formulary for more information regarding where formulas may be typically obtained. For pharmacy special order products, WIC staff shall assist the participant in finding a pharmacy that can order the product. The first time a product is ordered for a client, it may be necessary to order the product for them. Staff approving special formulas must also consider if the participant may qualify to receive the formula from the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS). If a participant requiring a special formula is participating in AHCCCS, it is the responsibility of the WIC RD/RN/State-Approved Nutritionist to review the following criteria for AHCCCS Special Formula coverage and explain the process of receiving the formula from AHCCCS to the participant if they qualify.
A) AHCCCS tube feeding 1) When a request comes in for medical nutritional therapy for a tube feeding for a WIC
participant who is also participating in the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), WIC staff shall refer the client back to their AHCCCS primary care doctor for coordination. The tube feeding formula is a covered AHCCCS expense and shall be processed as a prior authorization. (Certificate of Medical Necessity for Commercial Oral Nutritional Supplements form is not required)
2) If the AHCCCS client receives both tube feeding formula and oral supplemental nutritional feeding, both products are a covered AHCCCS expense and shall be processed as a prior authorization. (Certificate of Medical Necessity for Commercial Oral Nutritional Supplements form is not required)
Chapter Four – Food Package – Formula
Arizona WIC Program Original: March 1997 Policy and Procedure Manual 4-14 Revision: July 2017
B) AHCCCS commercial oral nutritional supplements (special formulas)
AHCCCS defines a commercial oral nutritional supplement as a formula that provides nourishment and increased calorie intake of other age-appropriate foods or as the sole source of nutrition. WIC refers to these nutritional supplements as special formulas.
1) When a request comes in for a special formula for an AHCCCS client, WIC staff shall follow
the below procedures: a) The WIC RD, RN, or State-Approved Nutritionist shall assess if the client meets the
following criteria from the AHCCCS EPSDT Policy 430 Requirements to determine medical necessity:
Member Meets the Criteria in the Left Column OR Meets at Least Two Criteria in the Right Column • Member has been diagnosed with a
chronic disease or condition, is below the recommended BMI percentile (or weight-for-length percentile for members less than two years of age) for the diagnosis per evidence-based guidance as issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and there are no alternatives for adequate nutrition.
Member is at or below the 10th percentile for weight-for-length/BMI, on the appropriate growth chart for their age and gender, for 3 months or more. • Member has reached a plateau in
growth and/or nutritional status for more than 6 months, or more than 3 months if member is an infant less than 1 year of age.
• Member has already demonstrated a
medically significant decline in weight within the 3-month period prior to the assessment.
• Member is able to consume/eat no
more than 25% of nutritional requirements from age-appropriate food sources.
Additionally, Both of the Following Requirements Must be Met • The member has been evaluated and treated for medical conditions that may cause
problems with growth (such as feeding problems, behavioral conditions or psychosocial problems, endocrine or gastrointestinal problems, etc.), AND
• The member has had a trial of higher caloric foods, blenderized foods, or commonly available products that may be used as dietary supplements for a period no less than 30 days in duration.
Chapter Four – Food Package – Formula
Arizona WIC Program Original: March 1997 Policy and Procedure Manual 4-15 Revision: July 2017
b) If a client meets the AHCCCS criteria, WIC staff shall refer them back to their primary care doctor to process and submit the Certificate of Medical Necessity for Commercial Oral Nutritional Supplements form to the Health Care Plan. Staff may also provide the client with a copy of the AHCCCS referral letter (see Appendix D). (1) WIC staff shall issue a supply of formula each month until AHCCCS approval is
completed. (2) If special formula coverage is denied by the health care plan, but the RD, RN, or
State-Approved Nutritionist believes that the client should have qualified to receive the formula from AHCCCS, they shall contact the State Food Package Nutritionist for assistance
c) If the criteria are not met, the WIC RD/RN/State-Approved Nutritionist shall tailor an appropriate package to meet the client’s needs.
NOTE: WIC participants may receive formula from AHCCCS and a food package from the Arizona WIC Program. Approval/Issuance of WIC-Eligible Nutritionals Since WIC-eligible nutritionals are a subcategory of special formulas, all of the same considerations that apply to the Approval/Issuance of Special Formulas also apply to WIC-eligible nutritionals. Additionally, most WIC-eligible nutritionals are intended for children one year of age or older and women. Therefore, any WIC-eligible nutritional intended for participants one year of age and older shall not be provided to infants. Approval/Issuance of Conditionally Special Formulas Since conditionally special formulas are a subcategory of WIC-eligible nutritionals, all of the same considerations that apply to the Approval/Issuance of Special Formulas and the Approval/Issuance of WIC-Eligible Nutritionals also apply to the approval/issuance of conditionally special formulas. Issuance of Pediasure, Pediasure with Fiber, and Boost Kid Essentials also requires the Local Agency RD, RN, or State-Approved Nutritionist to:
• Complete a thorough assessment and document all medical, nutritional, or psychosocial risk factors in the Notes section in HANDS.
• Obtain a current height and weight for accuracy in growth assessment. • Provide nutrition education on nutrient-dense foods to help promote weight gain. This shall be
documented in the Notes section in HANDS.
Chapter Four – Food Package – Formula
Arizona WIC Program Original: March 1997 Policy and Procedure Manual 4-16 Revision: July 2017
Additionally, medical documentation for Pediasure, Pediasure with Fiber, and Boost Kid Essentials can only be approved and food benefits issued when at least one of the following conditions exist:
• At or below the 5th percentile 1. Children one year of age measured recumbently, if weight for length is at or below the 5th
percentile on the “WHO - WEIGHT FOR LENGTH” growth chart in HANDS (Risk code 103.1 or 103.2).
2. Children two to five years old measured standing, if BMI for age is at or below the 5th percentile on the “CDC – BMI FOR AGE” growth chart in HANDS (Risk Code 103.1).
3. Children 24-36 months measured recumbently (indicate recumbent measurement in HANDS), if weight for length is at or below the 5th percentile on the “CDC – WEIGHT FOR LENGTH 24-36” growth chart in HANDS.
• Weight curve has crossed more than two percentile lines on the growth charts after having achieved a previously stable pattern (e.g., the child has dropped from the 75th to the 25th percentile over time)
• Other medical conditions for the management of nutrition-related disorders For all other questionable conditions, contact the State office for technical assistance. NOTE: Pediasure, Pediasure with Fiber, and Boost Kid Essentials cannot be issued for the following reasons:
• In response to picky eaters. • For the sole purpose of enhancing nutrient intake or managing body weight without an
underlying medical condition. Formula Changes When approved medical documentation exists in HANDS and new approved medical documentation has been received, the new medical documentation will supersede the previously approved medical documentation. If however, approved medical documentation exists in HANDS and new medical documentation has not been received, an alternative formula cannot be issued during the approved medical documentation length of time without following the same steps that apply when No Medical Documentation Exists.This includes situations when a participant requests a different formula or a WIC staff member believes a different formula is indicated (e.g., premature infant has gained a significant amount of weight and RD believes that Neosure is no longer indicated and Similac Advance would now be appropriate). Sometimes formula changes also occur when no medical documentation has been received at all, such as a client requesting another formula after their child experiences signs of formula intolerance to a standard contract formula, or when a WIC client transferring from another state requests that their child remains on an Arizona WIC non-contract formula.
Chapter Four – Food Package – Formula
Arizona WIC Program Original: March 1997 Policy and Procedure Manual 4-17 Revision: July 2017
Other than situations when new, valid medical documentation has been received, whenever an alternative formula is being considered, it is important to complete a nutrition assessment, evaluate several factors, and obtain medical documentation (if required for the formula). Factors include but are not limited to:
• How is the current formula being prepared? • How is the current formula being stored after preparation? • After the baby has been fed, what is done with formula left in the bottle? • How many ounces of the current formula is the baby drinking during the day? • In what position is the baby being held during feedings? • How often is the baby burped during feedings? • Have any solid foods been started? • Family history of allergies (e.g., milk, corn, soy, etc.) • Medications the infant is taking • The patient’s symptoms such as:
o Diarrhea o Vomiting o Watery, frothy stools o Abdominal distension o Bloody stools o Abdominal pain o Skin rash o Congestion o Chronic runny nose o Wheezing o Coughing
• How long the infant has been experiencing symptoms • Other recent infant illnesses
Note: Any time a food package change occurs (including a formula change), include the information and the reason for the change in the Notes tab in HANDS.

Section D Issuance of Formula for the Premature Infant
Feeding recommendations for infants born <37 weeks gestation include introduction to cow’s milk at 12 months corrected age (CA). CA is based on the age the infant would be if the pregnancy had gone to term. The CA is calculated by subtracting the number of weeks premature from the actual age. Remember that each month has an average of 4.35 weeks. Example 1: If an infant was 6 weeks premature and the infant’s actual age is 13 weeks, then the infants corrected age would be 7 weeks.
(actual age) – (weeks premature) = (corrected age) 3 months (13 weeks) – 6 weeks = 7 weeks
Example 2: If an infant was 10 weeks premature and the infant’s actual age is 1 year 6 weeks, then the infants corrected age would be 11 months (48 weeks).
(actual age) – (weeks premature) = (corrected age) 1 year 6 weeks (58 weeks) – 10 weeks = 11 months (48 weeks)
The Local Agency WIC RD, RN, or State-Approved Nutritionist shall base feeding recommendations of the premature infant on birth weight, nutritional status, developmental stage, and continued monitoring of growth. It is at the Local Agency RD/RN/State-Approved Nutritionist or referring medical provider’s discretion to extend the use of infant formula up to one year (52 weeks) CA. If the need for continued formula past one year corrected age is apparent, medical documentation is required.

Section E Issuance of Powder/Concentrate/Ready-to-Feed Formula
Local Agencies must issue all formula in concentrated liquid or powder physical forms with the exception of the following scenarios that permit the issuance of ready-to-feed formula. Ready-to-feed formula for standard contract formulas may be issued without medical documentation when a CPA determines and documents that one of the following situations applies:
• The participant’s household has an unsanitary or restricted water supply • There is poor or no refrigeration available • The caregiver may have difficulty correctly diluting concentrated liquid or powdered formula
In addition to the scenarios listed above, ready-to-feed formulas may also be issued to participants with medical documentation when the RD/RN/State-Approved Nutritionist determines and documents that one of the following situations applies:
• No other forms of the prescribed formula are available • A ready-to-feed formula better accommodates the participant’s condition • A ready-to-feed formula improves the participant’s compliance in consuming the prescribed WIC
formula

Arizona WIC Program Original: March 1997 Policy and Procedure Manual 4-20 Revision: July 2017
Section F Issuance of Liquid Formula for Premature, Low Birth Weight, and
Immunocompromised Infants Although liquid infant formula is commercially sterile, powdered infant formula is not. Powdered infant formula contains low levels of Cronobacter bacteria. These bacteria have been associated with sepsis, meningitis, cerebritis and necrotizing enterocolitis. Premature infants, low birth weight infants or immunocompromised infants are at particular risk. Improper preparation and refrigeration of powdered infant formula can cause an increase in the level of contamination of Cronobacter in powdered formula. The Arizona WIC Program shall issue liquid concentrate infant formula, which is commercially sterile, to premature (<37 weeks gestational age), low birth weight infants (less than 2,500 grams (5.5 pounds)), and/or immunocompromised infants until six months corrected age. When liquid concentrate is not available in a requested formula, ready-to-feed formula shall be chosen. Powdered formula shall only be issued to premature, low-birth weight, and/or immunocompromised infants when a prescriptive authority’s medical documentation indicates the request for powdered formula.

Section G Formula Calorie Adjustments
Participants should adjust the calories of a formula as indicated by their prescriptive authority. It is recommended to review the calorie adjustments provided by the prescriptive authority with the participant to verify the participant’s understanding/ability to prepare the formula as indicated and to verify that the doctor’s formula preparation instructions are correct for the desired kcal/oz concentration. Please reference the Formula Calorie Adjustment Charts in these situations.

Arizona WIC Program Original: March 1997 Policy and Procedure Manual 4-22 Revision: July 2017
Section H Tailoring Formula and Food Packages
Formula Tailoring CPAs shall tailor the amount of formula that a participant receives to reflect the amount of formula that the participant will most likely consume during the benefit issuance period. The formula tailoring calculation and associated example below provide an outline of how to estimate the amount of formula a participant is consuming, but it is important to ask probing questions to more clearly establish approximately how much formula the participant is expected to consume during the benefit issuance period. It is also important to consider the age and category of the participant since these factors play an important role in the maximum quantity of infant formula provided monthly by WIC. Please refer to the infant sections in Chapter 3 for maximum formula volumes by age and category. The Formula Tailoring Chart may also be used as a tool to help tailor the most common formulas and help determine the appropriate participant category to assign, based on the participant’s formula needs during the issuance period. Formula Tailoring Calculation
1. Calculate the approximate amount of formula (in ounces) the client consumes each day and multiply it by the number of days in the month to give the total monthly volume.
2. Determine the ounces of prepared formula that one can of formula shall provide. Prepared ounces vary by formula.
3. Divide the total monthly volume by the ounces one can of prepared formula provides to establish the approximate number of cans the client shall need for the month.
Example: An infant is partially breastfed and consuming about 12 ounces of prepared Similac Advance
powdered formula each day. The Similac Advance powdered formula can size is 12.4 ounces and reconstitutes to 90 fl. ounces per can.
1. 12 ounces per day x 31 days = 372 fl. ounces per month 2. 1 -12.4 ounce can of Similac Advance = 90 fl. ounces per can 3. 372 fl. ounces per month/90 fl. ounces per can = 4.133 cans per month 4. Round 4.1333 cans per month up to 5 cans per month.

Section I Issuance of Low Iron Formula
Low iron infant formula may only be issued to medically fragile infants in Food Package III and requires medical documentation with a corresponding medical condition. Conditions include, but aren’t limited to, renal insufficiency and iron storage disorders. NOTE: Spitting up, diarrhea, constipation, and colic are not acceptable reasons for issuing low iron formula.

Date: Re: (WIC Participant) Dear Doctor, Based on AHCCCS policy 430, WIC is referring AHCCCS covered WIC participants who receive enteral feedings or who qualify for medically necessary commercial oral nutritional supplements to their Primary Care Physician (PCP) for nutritional therapy. According to AHCCCS policy 400 Section 430.C.6, if an AHCCCS covered EPSDT member qualifies for nutritional therapy due to a medical condition, AHCCCS Contractors are the primary payor for special formulas and commercial oral nutritional supplementation. AHCCCS covers nutritional therapy for EPSDT-Eligible members on an enteral, parenteral, or oral basis when determined medically necessary to provide either complete daily dietary requirements, or to supplement a member’s daily nutritional and caloric intake. Prior authorization (PA) is required for commercial oral nutritional supplements. The PCP or attending physician must complete and submit the AHCCCS approved form, “Certificate of Medical Necessity for Commercial Oral Nutritional Supplements” (Exhibit 430-2) to obtain PA from the Contractor. If the member meets two of the seven criteria listed on the form, AHCCCS supplies the commercial oral nutrition supplements. Please complete the enclosed form and process the form as a prior authorization. Thank you for working with us on this procedure.
