S 6675 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requires insurance coverage for the cost of donated breast milk

This bill requires health insurance policies covering prescription drugs to also cover the cost of donated breast milk. It directly affects individuals, particularly mothers and infants in medical settings (like NICUs), who rely on donated breast milk but previously faced coverage gaps. The law amends specific sections of the insurance code to mandate this coverage inclusion in all relevant policies, effective immediately. The change applies to standard prescription drug coverage, not separate health plans.
