How to Get Kendamil and Kendakids Covered by Insurance

Great news — Kendamil infant formulas and KendaKids nutrition shakes now have official HCPCS codes, making it easier for families to access coverage through insurance. Parents can share these codes with healthcare providers to request a prescription or letter of medical necessity and check with their insurance company or a DME provider for reimbursement options.

We’re excited to share some big news: Kendamil infant formulas and KendaKids pediatric nutrition shakes now have official HCPCS codes (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System)!

This is a major step forward in helping families access the high-quality nutrition they need through insurance coverage.


Why HCPCS Codes Matter

HCPCS codes are what healthcare professionals use to bill insurance companies for medical nutrition products. By having official codes, Kendamil and KendaKids are now recognized within the healthcare system.

This means:

  1. Families may be able to get our products covered by their insurance plan.

  2. Durable Medical Equipment (DME) providers and hospitals can order and dispense Kendamil and KendaKids with reimbursement pathways.

  3. Patients and caregivers can more easily access the nutrition they need without the full financial burden.


The Official Codes

  1. Kendamil Infant Formulas (Classic, Organic, Goat) → HCPCS Code: B4158

  2. KendaKids Pediatric Nutrition Shakes (Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry)→ HCPCS Code: B4160


How Families Can Get Coverage

1. Parents should ask their child's Doctor or Dietitian

  • Share the HCPCS codes with their healthcare provider.
  • The healthcare provider can write a prescription or letter of medical necessity.

2. Parents can work with their Insurance Company

  • Parents should call their insurance provider and ask about coverage for medical nutrition products under these codes.
  • Provide the product details and HCPCS code.

3. Check with a DME Provider

  • Many Durable Medical Equipment providers can order Kendamil or KendaKids on the patient's behalf.
  • DME providers will handle billing insurance directly.
