Bill > SB348

This bill modifies existing Maryland law to extend the timeframe for hospitals and freestanding birthing centers to follow up with birthing parents after a high-risk pregnancy discharge. Previously, these facilities were required to contact the birthing parent at least 24 hours but no later than 48 hours after discharge to check on their status and provide necessary information about postpartum complications. This bill changes that window to at least 24 hours but no later than 72 hours after discharge, allowing for a longer period to ensure the birthing parent's well-being and provide crucial health information.
