Human services: medical services; coverage for blood pressure monitors for pregnant or postpartum individuals; provide for. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 109o.
This bill amends Michigan's medical assistance program to cover the cost of blood pressure monitors for pregnant individuals and those in the postpartum period. Under the new provision, eligible people can receive a monitor designed for pregnancy use and fitted to their specific needs. The change directly affects recipients of state medical aid who are expecting or have recently given birth. By adding this specific item to the list of covered medical services, the legislation ensures these individuals have access to tools for monitoring their blood pressure without additional out-of-pocket expenses.
