What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Connected MOM Act," aims to improve health outcomes for pregnant and postpartum women in State Medicaid programs. It directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to research how remote physiologic devices are covered by various states. The report must identify existing barriers and limitations regarding the coverage of these devices. It also includes specific examples like pulse oximeters, blood pressure cuffs, scales, and blood glucose monitors. Finally, the Secretary is required to update State Medicaid resources, such as telehealth toolkits, based on the report's recommendations.
