Bill > HB1234

This bill amends the Human Services Code to require government health programs to provide coverage for home blood pressure monitors for pregnant and postpartum individuals. Specifically, the bill mandates that these government health programs (which include the Children's Health Insurance Program and other government-sponsored or subsidized health care coverage) must cover medically accurate blood pressure monitors for each pregnancy, with a limitation of no more than once every two years. The bill defines key terms such as "enrollee" (an individual entitled to receive health care services under a government program), "government program" (programs of government-sponsored health care coverage), and "postpartum" (within one year of delivery or the end of pregnancy). The purpose of this bill appears to be ensuring that pregnant and recently pregnant individuals have access to home blood pressure monitoring equipment, which can be important for tracking potential health complications during and after pregnancy. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.
