Lets pregnant individuals get health insurance sooner and keeps new mothers covered longer.
This bill would make it easier for pregnant individuals to get or keep health insurance. It would create special enrollment periods for pregnant people to sign up for various health plans. It would also ensure new mothers stay covered by Medicaid or CHIP for a full year after giving birth. It would also require health plans to cover maternity care for all pregnant dependents, regardless of age.
Today, pregnant individuals might struggle to get immediate health coverage or find plans that fully cover maternity care, and new mothers on Medicaid or CHIP often lose coverage after 60 days postpartum. Some employer plans might not cover maternity care for dependent daughters. This bill would create special enrollment periods for pregnant individuals to get coverage right away and would ensure new mothers keep Medicaid or CHIP for 12 months. It would also require plans to cover maternity care for all pregnant dependents, regardless of age, starting for plan years on or after January 1, 2027.
