Summary
The Minnesota WIC (Women, Infants & Children) Program has updated its approved infant formula list for health care providers. Billing teams must consult the updated MDH WIC Formula Updates document (June 2026) and refer to the MDH WIC and Health Care Providers webpage to ensure accurate billing and documentation for WIC-covered formula products.
Action Required
By June 16, 2026: Billing team and front-desk staff must obtain and review the Minnesota Department of Health's WIC Formula Updates for Health Care Providers (June 2026 PDF) from the MDH website. Update any internal reference materials, billing notes, and patient education materials to reflect the new approved formula list. Verify that any WIC formula claims submitted use only formulas from the updated approved list. Contact MDH WIC Program State Office at 800-657-3942 or 651-201-4404 with questions about specific formula coverage. Failure to use updated approved formulas may result in claim denials or rejections by the WIC program.
