## Summary

**No-cost coverage of human milk fortifier** across Medicaid, CHIP, and private health plans for medically necessary use in infants under 1 year. The bill would define donor human milk-derived fortifier, set who can make medical-necessity determinations, and target a January 1, 2026 effective date. - Families and infants: Families with premature or medically fragile infants would get donor human milk-derived fortifier covered at no cost when a specified clinician determines it is medically necessary for an infant under 1 year. - Medicaid and CHIP: Medicaid would add fortifier as a mandatory benefit and ban cost sharing beginning January 1, 2026. CHIP would require the same coverage and provides a transition window for states with pending legislative requirements. - Private plans: Group and individual health plans would be required to cover fortifier without any cost sharing for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
