Social Security Child Disability Starter Kit (for children under age 18)

Peptamen Junior is a peptide-based elemental diet for the nutritional needs for GI-compromised children. Sometimes doctors recommend this product, but it is very expensive and not always covered by insurance. Recently I found two programs that may help families buy this product.

Nestle Homelink, 1-800-776-5446, sells Peptamen Jr directly to you and offers free home delivery with a 3-to-5 day delivery window.

Nestle Nutrition products has also established a financial assistance program for individuals based on medical and financial need. For information on that program you can contact them through the web-site
