What this bill would do

The Healthy Maternity and Obstetric Medicine Act, or "Healthy MOM Act," seeks to amend the Public Health Service Act and other laws to expand maternity coverage. The bill establishes a special enrollment period for pregnant individuals to access health insurance coverage upon pregnancy. It also mandates that group health plans include maternity care for all dependents regardless of age. Additionally, the act modifies Medicaid and CHIP requirements to ensure continuous coverage for pregnant and postpartum individuals. These changes are designed to improve health outcomes and reduce financial costs associated with pregnancy.
