Legislation is pending in the U.S. House that will require all payers — Medicaid, Medicare, Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, Children's Health Insurance Program and private insurance — to cover medical nutrition for certain gastrointestinal conditions and metabolic disorders.

Strong bipartisan cosponsorship of the "Medical Nutrition Equity Act"  (H.R. 6892)  will be necessary for its advancement in Congress.
