AI Summary
This bill expands the provision for payment of medical assistance services for remote patient monitoring, which uses digital technologies to collect health data from patients and transmit it to healthcare providers for analysis and management, to include all pregnant and postpartum individuals. Previously, these services, provided via telemedicine, were only covered for high-risk pregnancies. The bill specifically extends coverage to pregnant individuals aged 35 and older at their estimated delivery date through 12 months postpartum, in addition to high-risk pregnant persons through 12 months postpartum.
