In cooperation with the individual's physician or other health
care practitioner and within the limits of funds budgeted by the department
for this purpose, the program will provide benefits such as dietary
supplements, medications, vitamins, low-protein foods, and follow-up
care at no cost or reduced cost to individuals approved for program
benefits who have a disorder detected through the program, and confirmed
with appropriate diagnostic tests, that have been interpreted by a
physician recognized by the department as a specialist in the applicable
disorder(s) as referenced in §37.53 of this title (relating to
Disorders for Which Blood Specimen Screening is Performed), and/or
CCHD, once the department has established rules covering that subject
matter in a separate subchapter under this chapter. Program benefits
also include coverage for confirmatory testing of individuals who
have a presumptive disorder, from the list of disorders referenced
in §37.53 of this title. These program benefits will be prioritized
among eligible individuals in the following order:
(1) children 0-2 years of age;
(2) children 3-5 years of age;
(3) children 6-21 years of age;
(4) pregnant women;
