Bill > HB2371

This bill requires health insurance plans that offer maternity benefits to cover home blood pressure monitoring devices and related services for pregnant and postpartum women, starting January 1, 2027. The legislation defines key terms, including "home blood pressure monitoring device" as a mobile device validated for clinical accuracy, and "home blood pressure monitoring device services" which encompass patient education, device setup training, self-measurement blood pressure readings, data transmission to healthcare providers, provider review of reports, and potential treatment plan modifications. By mandating this coverage, the bill aims to support women's health during and after pregnancy by providing tools and services to monitor blood pressure, which can help detect and manage conditions like preeclampsia that can pose risks during pregnancy. The requirement will apply to health benefit plans delivered, issued, continued, or renewed in Missouri on or after the specified date.
