Acelleron can help you get the most out of the New Jersey Breastfeeding Mandate through Horizon NJ Health.

The New Jersey Breastfeeding Mandate

In accordance with the New Jersey Breastfeeding Support Law and a State of New Jersey Department of Human Services Newsletter, Horizon NJ Health covers breastfeeding equipment and supplies.

According to the newsletter, “these benefits are provided to NJ FamilyCare eligible individuals at any time during their pregnancy and throughout the postpartum period for the duration of breastfeeding. They are available to NJ FamilyCare members in all Medicaid and CHIP eligibility categories under plans A, B, C and D, and the Alternative Benefit Plan (ABP). Individuals covered by the NJ Supplemental Prenatal Care Program (NJSPCP) are not eligible. Benefits associated with multiple births are identical to those for singleton births.”
