WIC NORTH PROGRAM

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a federal assistance program of the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for healthcare and nutrition of low-income pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and children under the age of five. (See child nutrition programs.) Their mission is to be a partner with other services that are key to childhood and family well-being [1] The basic eligibility requirement is a family income below 185% of the federal poverty level. Most states allow automatic income eligibility, where a person or family participating in certain benefits programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Medicaid, or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, may automatically meet the income eligibility requirements. Currently, WIC serves 53 percent of all infants born in the United States.[2]The WIC Program makes Breast Pumps available for mothers who fall into certain income categories. For those mothers who have insurance, WIC prefers to have those plans to be billed, directly, for the Breast Pumps and will refer those Mothers to Breast Pump Providers who are IN-NETWORK  with those plans. Baird is IN_Network with most Commercial and Medical Assutance Plans and offers a variety of Breast Pump manufacturers.For more information, please contact our Customer Service Department  (215-884-2990).
