HB 542 Phenylketonuria; Board of Health's responsibility for treatment.
Introduced by: Robert F. McDonnell | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Phenylketonuria; Board of Health's responsibility for treatment. Requires the Board of Health, out of such funds as may be appropriated, to include both the medical formulas and low protein modified foods (foods that are not naturally low in protein) in the food program for children with phenylketonuria and any pregnant woman who is diagnosed as requiring treatment for phenylketonuria. Currently, Virginia's program only supplies parents with the medical formulas, at a cost of no more than two percent of their annual income; however, no low protein modified foods are provided. The bill will provide reinbursement from the Department for low protein modified foods in an amount not to exceed $2,000 per diagnosed person per year. Phenylketonuria is an inborn error of metabolism in which the body is unable to process an amino acid (phenylalanine) that, unless treated early by restricting phenylalanine intake, results in brain damage and mental retardation. In Virginia, all infants are tested for this disease at birth. The bill will not become effective unless an appropriation effectuating the purpose of the bill is included in the 2000 appropriation act signed into law by the Governor.
