An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in public assistance, providing for coverage for blood pressure monitors.
This bill directs government health programs to cover the cost of medically necessary home blood pressure monitors for pregnant and postpartum individuals. The measure specifically defines "enrollees" as those receiving government-sponsored health care and limits the coverage to devices validated for clinical accuracy. It applies to programs such as the Children's Health Insurance Program and extends the postpartum period to one year following delivery. The changes will become effective 60 days after the bill is enacted.
