Improving Maternal and Child Health through Remote Monitoring in Medicaid.
This act aims to identify and address barriers to coverage of remote physiological monitoring devices for pregnant and postpartum women under State Medicaid programs. Citizens can expect improved healthcare access, allowing for early detection of health issues and better health outcomes for both mothers and children.
Key points
The government will investigate why remote monitoring devices (e.g., blood pressure cuffs, pulse oximeters) are not fully covered by Medicaid programs.
Recommendations will be developed to facilitate access to these devices, improving care for pregnant and postpartum women.
State Medicaid program resources will be updated to support broader use of remote monitoring.
