Metabolic Information


The following is required to ensure patient coverage under the IMD program.

  1. Contact MOHLTC at 416-314-8528 for approval.

  2. Fill out the Formula Usage Sheet (FUS) form. The FUS reflects all products approved by the MOHLTC IMD program. A new FUS is required each time a new patient starts a metabolic formula or when a formula changes.

  3. Send the FUS form to Specialty Food Shop either by email at sfs.admin@sickkids.ca or by fax at 416-977-8394.

  4. Once the form in Step 3 is received, the patient can start placing orders by calling 1-800-737-7976 or online at specialtyfoodshop.ca.

 
NOTE:

  • If the form is not filled out correctly, it will not be accepted and you will be contacted. 
  • If a patient attempts to order a formula that is not approved on the FUS, the order will not be filled and the patient will be informed that they will need to contact their dietitian for approval
  • If you do not see a covered product on the FUS, or you have any questions, contact the store Manager at sfs.admin@sickkids.ca
  • $0.00 formula is only dispensed to patients being followed by an Ontario Metabolic Dietitian from our location.
