Medicaid report on remote monitoring
This bill would require the HHS Secretary to send a report to Congress within 18 months. The report would describe how States cover remote physiologic monitoring devices. It would focus on pulse oximeters, blood pressure cuffs, scales, and blood glucose meters. The report would list coverage barriers and the impact on pregnant and postpartum Medicaid enrollees. Within 6 months after the report, the Secretary would update State Medicaid telehealth toolkits to match recommendations. If enacted, states could use those updates to change coverage and improve access to these devices for pregnant and postpartum people on Medicaid.
