S 6674: Expands insurance coverage requirements for human donor milk

This bill requires health insurance policies to cover the cost of pasteurized donor human milk for specific infants who cannot breastfeed due to medical conditions or low birth weight. It removes the previous restriction that limited this coverage to hospital settings, allowing insurance to pay for the milk when used outside of inpatient care as well. The coverage applies to infants weighing less than 1,500 grams or those at high risk for a serious intestinal condition called necrotizing enterocolitis, provided a doctor has ordered the milk. The law mandates that these policies may also include necessary medical fortifiers to support the infant's nutrition.
