What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``Connected MOM Act,'' focuses on improving health outcomes for pregnant and postpartum women enrolled in State Medicaid programs. It directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to submit a report to Congress within 18 months regarding the coverage of remote physiologic monitoring devices. This report will look at current State practices, limitations, and barriers to coverage for tools like blood pressure cuffs, scales, and blood glucose monitors. The goal is to identify how to address these barriers to improve maternal and child health. Following the report, the Secretary must update State Medicaid resources, such as telehealth toolkits, within six months.
