Bill Summary
Relative to postpartum depression screening
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 118E of the General Laws to require the state's Medicaid program to provide coverage for postpartum depression screenings by pediatricians for mothers of newborn children during any visit to a pediatrician's office for up to one year after the child's birth. This ensures that new mothers have access to screening for postpartum depression, a common condition that can have significant impacts on both the mother and child's health if left untreated.
