AI Summary

This bill aims to mandate healthcare insurance coverage for a "prenatal pediatric visit" in Massachusetts. The term "prenatal pediatric visit" refers to an appointment between a pregnant person and a pediatrician, which provides a foundation for a positive, family-pediatric professional partnership, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The bill requires this coverage to be provided by the state's Group Insurance Commission, the state Medicaid program, as well as all private health insurance policies, contracts, and plans issued or renewed within the Commonwealth.
