SB 1128 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Insurance: health insurers; coverage for group prenatal care services; require. Amends 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.100 - 500.8302) by adding sec. 3406jj.

This bill requires health insurance companies in Michigan to cover group prenatal care services for pregnant individuals. The legislation defines these services as a series of visits held in a group setting that uses evidence-based models to include health assessments, social support, and educational activities. By mandating this coverage, the law ensures that insurers provide access to peer-to-peer support and family-centered care designed to help people through pregnancy and early childhood. The policy directly affects health insurers offering policies in the state and the pregnant individuals who would receive these covered services.
