AI Summary
This bill establishes the Maternal Health Monitoring Pilot Program within the Department of Health to provide improved maternal healthcare to eligible participants, defined as pregnant individuals who are recipients of medical assistance and members of a participating managed care organization, through remote patient monitoring for conditions like maternal hypertension and diabetes. The program will involve a technology vendor providing FDA-authorized devices to collect health data, which will be monitored by a remote care team offering guidance and support, and will include an "escalation pathway" for concerning measurements that require further medical attention. The pilot program is set to run for two years, with a report due to evaluate its outcomes and recommend potential expansion, and appropriates funds for its implementation.
