SB 988 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Human services: medical services; coverage for immediate postpartum intrauterine devices and contraceptive implants and associated anesthesia services; provide for. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 109p.

This bill directs the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to cover the cost of immediate postpartum intrauterine devices and contraceptive implants for women receiving medical assistance. It also mandates that associated anesthesia services be included in this coverage. The law ensures these procedures are paid for separately from standard labor and delivery fees, preventing them from being bundled into general obstetric payments. This change directly affects the state's medical assistance program and the women enrolled in it who need these specific forms of birth control.
