Medicaid review of remote monitors for pregnancy
If enacted, HHS would report to Congress within 18 months on how State Medicaid covers remote monitoring devices for pregnant and postpartum enrollees. The review would look at pulse oximeters, blood pressure cuffs, scales, and blood glucose monitors. The report would identify barriers and, where appropriate, recommend fixes to improve maternal and child health. Within 6 months after the report, HHS would update State Medicaid telehealth resources to match the recommendations. If States follow the guidance, access to these devices could improve for pregnant and postpartum people on Medicaid.
