AI Summary
This bill allows states to receive federal payment under Medicaid for outside services provided to pregnant and postpartum women who are substance use disorder patients, including those with opioid use disorders, while they are receiving treatment at institutions for mental diseases (IMDs). The bill specifies that the Medicaid exclusion for services provided to individuals in IMDs would not apply in these cases, enabling federal financial participation for medical assistance for these women while they are outside of the institution.
