Bill > HB6441

This bill amends the Social Welfare Act to require the Department of Health and Human Services to establish standards and guidelines for the medical assistance program to provide coverage for certain prenatal care services. Specifically, the bill requires the program to cover noninvasive prenatal testing and expanded carrier screening without any limitations based on the patient's age, risk, family history, or ethnic background. The bill defines "carrier frequency" and "carrier screening" to provide context for these new coverage requirements.
