If Milk Substitutions are requested in place of cow's milk, there MUST be a note specifying what kind of milk substitute the child must drink. There are 2 types of Notes:  \nParents Note: If the milk substitution is a soy milk from the 5 Federally Approved Soy Brands List or Lactose Free Milk (Lactose free milk has to be 1% or Whole for age group type) then only a PARENT'S NOTE is required.  \nDoctors Note: If the substitution is anything different from the above (examples:  \nAlmond Milk, Rice Milk, Coconut Milk, Water or anything else) a Doctor's Note on the approved Medical Statement for Children with Disabilities Form (this form can be found on our web-site) . It must be completed by a Physician, Physician Assistant (PAl, or Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) . The MEDICAL STATEMENT cannot indicate that it is the PARENT'S PREFERENCE. It must state the following:  \n1. that the child is sensitive to cow's milk\"  \n2. that cow's milk is to be Omitted  \n3. and what is being substituted in the place of cow's milk (example: Almond Milk, Rice Milk, etc. )  \nIf the Medical Statement doesn't show all three of the above, it won't be approved and the child's meal cannot be counted.  \nThe appropriate note should be in the child's folder and A COPY sent to your CUSTOMER CARE SPECIALIST. If not, you cannot count the child's meal in your MEAL COUNT","cbCaitsDFxAfiTe7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitsDFxAfiTe7","pdf",11064,"English","# Milk substitution documentation requirements\n## Parent note conditions\n## Doctor's note and medical statement requirements\n## Approval rules and meal counting","[{\"question\":\"When is a note required for a milk substitution request?\",\"answer\":\"A note is required whenever milk substitutions are requested instead of cow’s milk, and it must specify what milk substitute the child must drink.\"},{\"question\":\"What substitutions qualify for a Parent’s Note?\",\"answer\":\"A Parent’s Note is sufficient only for soy milk from the 5 federally approved soy brands list or lactose-free milk, with lactose-free milk requirements based on the specified age group.\"},{\"question\":\"What documentation is needed for substitutions other than soy or lactose-free milk?\",\"answer\":\"A Doctor’s Note is required using the approved Medical Statement for Children with Disabilities Form, completed by a qualified physician, PA, or ARNP, and it must confirm sensitivity to cow’s milk, cow’s milk omission, and the exact substitute.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens if the medical statement is incomplete?\",\"answer\":\"If the Medical Statement does not include all required elements, it will not be approved, and the child’s meal cannot be counted.\"}]","Milk Substitution Policy - Requirements for Parent Notes and Doctors Notes | PDF",1789483524]
