Bill Summary
Expanding comprehensive coverage for pregnant women through Medicaid
AI Summary
This bill expands comprehensive Medicaid coverage for pregnant women between 185% and 300% of the federal poverty level. It includes coverage for prenatal care, delivery, and 60 days of postpartum care. This expansion is made possible under the authority of the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) and is contingent on available funding after all children up to 300% of the federal poverty level are covered. The bill also requires the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) board to report quarterly on the development, implementation, and progress of this expansion.
