Bill > SB1089

This bill requires health insurance plans that provide maternity benefits to cover home blood pressure monitoring devices and associated services for pregnant and postpartum women, starting January 1, 2026. The bill defines key terms, including "home blood pressure monitoring device" as a mobile device validated for clinical accuracy, and "home blood pressure monitoring device services" as including patient education, training on device use, self-measurement of blood pressure, data transmission to healthcare providers, report review by providers, and potential treatment plan adjustments. The coverage would apply to health benefit plans delivered, issued, continued, or renewed in Missouri after the specified date, with the goal of helping pregnant and postpartum women better monitor their blood pressure, which can be critical for detecting and managing conditions like preeclampsia that pose risks during and after pregnancy.
