Committee backs bills to cover lactation services for Medicaid enrollees and create state certification pathway The committee adopted a CMS‑contingent amendment and returned HB 2051 (coverage of breastfeeding and lactation services under Access) and HB 2072 (optional state certification for lactation providers) with due-pass recommendations after extensive testimony from clinicians, tribal and indigenous advocates, and parents describing maternal and infant health benefits and access gaps.

Arizona is taking a bold step to enhance maternal and infant health by introducing bills that would ensure Medicaid covers lactation services and create a certification pathway for providers.
