The Supporting Premature Infant Nutrition Act of 2025 requires health insurance plans to cover human milk fortifier—a nutrient-enriched product made from donor breast milk—at no cost to families. The bill applies to premature and low-birth-weight infants under one year old whose doctors determine the product is medically necessary due to conditions like extreme prematurity (34 weeks or less), low birth weight, or congenital health issues. Coverage requirements take effect January 1, 2026, and apply across Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and private group and individual health insurance plans. No copayments, deductibles, or other cost-sharing is permitted for the covered product. The legislation aims to ensure vulnerable infants receive critical nutrition support without financial barriers for families, regardless of their insurance type or income level.
