S 2433 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Neonatal Care Transparency Act of 2025

This bill requires hospitals and obstetric providers to disclose policies on providing life-saving care to premature infants, directly affecting parents expecting premature births and healthcare facilities. Hospitals must publicly state if they have a minimum gestational age for treatment, whether care decisions are case-by-case, and transfer plans for infants needing higher-level care. Obstetric providers must share these policies with patients during the first prenatal visit. Non-compliant hospitals and providers risk losing federal Medicaid and CHIP funding starting January 2026. The law aims to ensure transparency about neonatal care options before delivery.
