Bill > S2871

This bill requires the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) to provide self-measured blood pressure monitoring services for pregnant and postpartum individuals who are eligible for programs like RIte Start or medical assistance under Title XIX and Title XXI of the Social Security Act, which are federal programs providing health coverage. This coverage will include the cost of validated home blood pressure monitors, training for patients, transmission and interpretation of blood pressure data, and related interventions such as educational materials, behavioral change management, and medication management. The bill specifies that these services will be funded by the state if federal aid is not available, and it will take effect immediately upon passage.
