An Act relative to safer schools

This bill (HD 2956) expands health insurance coverage requirements to explicitly include **post-pregnancy mental health care** - covering both after childbirth and after pregnancy loss (like miscarriage) - in multiple existing Massachusetts health care laws. It mandates that this coverage be provided **without any deductibles, copays, or cost-sharing** and must be equally available to the enrollee, their spouse, and dependents. The bill amends provisions across several chapters of the General Laws (including those governing Medicaid, employer plans, and specific health services) to add this language and requirement. It takes effect six months after passage.
