An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, establishing the Maternal Health Monitoring Pilot Program.

This bill establishes a two-year pilot program in Pennsylvania to provide remote health monitoring for pregnant individuals with Medicaid who live in areas lacking adequate maternity care. The program would allow eligible participants to use FDA-approved devices at home to track conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes, as well as to monitor fetal heart rates, with data securely sent to their doctors for review. To operate, the state Department of Health would select a managed care organization to administer the initiative and a technology vendor to supply the necessary equipment. The pilot is limited to specific counties identified as having limited access to obstetric services and includes a requirement that the Department submit a report on the program's results before it expires.
