What this bill would do

The Supporting Healthy Moms and Babies Act aims to prevent cost-sharing requirements for various stages of maternity and newborn care. It updates the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to include comprehensive prenatal, childbirth, neonatal, perinatal, and postpartum care as essential health benefits. This includes specific services such as ultrasounds, delivery services, and care for pregnancy loss. The bill also covers postpartum services for specific health conditions and behavioral health for legal parents. Ultimately, it mandates that group health plans and insurance issuers provide this coverage without imposing cost-sharing requirements.
