Bill > HR4585

This bill, the Advancing Maternal Health Equity Under Medicaid Act, aims to provide a higher federal matching rate (90%) for increased expenditures under Medicaid for maternal health care services. The key provisions include: 1) Defining "maternal health care services" to cover a range of prenatal, labor and delivery, postpartum, telehealth, home visiting, and mental/behavioral health services provided by maternity care providers and perinatal health workers. 2) Requiring states to use the additional federal funds to supplement, not supplant, their existing maternal health spending and to use the funds for activities that improve the capacity, efficiency, and quality of maternal health care service delivery.
