Human services: medical services; medical assistance coverage for donor human milk; require under certain conditions. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 109y.
SB 725 requires Michigan's medical assistance program to cover donor human milk for infants under specific conditions. It affects parents who rely on medical assistance and have infants who either: (1) cannot receive their parent's milk due to inability to produce it (temporarily or permanently), or (2) were born prematurely (before 34 weeks) or with low birth weight (under 1,800 grams). A doctor's prescription is required, and coverage lasts up to two years after birth or hospital discharge. This policy change expands access to donor human milk as a medical necessity for vulnerable infants under the state's healthcare program.
