AI Summary
This bill requires health insurers in Michigan to provide coverage for gynecological and perinatal care services delivered by qualified healthcare providers, including physicians, certified nurse midwives, and midwives, both at in-network health facilities and in patients' homes. The bill defines key terms to clarify who can provide these services: a "certified nurse midwife" is a registered professional nurse with a specialty certification in nurse midwifery, a "midwife" is as defined in the public health code, and "physician" includes both medical doctors and doctors of osteopathic medicine who are licensed to practice in Michigan. By mandating this coverage, the bill aims to ensure that individuals have access to a range of healthcare providers for gynecological and perinatal services, potentially offering more flexibility and choice in receiving these important medical care services.
