Massachusetts H4345 aims to improve access to breast pumps for mothers in need.

Massachusetts H4345 seeks to enhance access to breast pumps for mothers, particularly those with newborns in intensive care or with feeding difficulties. The bill mandates insurance coverage for multi-user breast pumps, which are defined as durable, capable of supporting milk supply, and suitable for multiple users. Coverage includes rental and usage costs, initial assessment and fitting by a lactation consultant, ongoing support, and replacement parts. The bill also requires the availability of these pumps within 24 hours of maternal hospital discharge.
