Health plans would cover human milk fortifier for certain infants at no cost
This bill would make sure that Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and private health insurance plans pay for human milk fortifier for certain infants without any out-of-pocket costs. This would help families with premature or sick babies get the specific nutrition they need, taking effect starting January 1, 2026.
Today, coverage for human milk fortifier and any related costs depend on individual state Medicaid/CHIP rules and private insurance policies. If this bill becomes law, starting January 1, 2026, Medicaid, CHIP, and private health plans would be required to cover human milk fortifier for eligible infants without any out-of-pocket costs.
