## Summary

**No-cost sharing for maternity and newborn care** is the core aim of this bill. It would require comprehensive prenatal, labor and delivery, neonatal, perinatal, and postpartum services to be covered with no copays or deductibles across ACA, ERISA, and tax-code governed plans. - Families and new parents would receive covered services such as ultrasounds, miscarriage care, delivery services (including anesthesiology and fetal monitoring), specialist consultations, and postpartum health care with no cost-sharing. - The bill defines "postpartum" as the 1-year period after a pregnancy ends and requires behavioral health services for that period, including care for legal parents who did not give birth. - Health plans and insurers would be required to follow the same no-cost-sharing rule because the bill adds parallel provisions to the Affordable Care Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and the Internal Revenue Code for plan years beginning on or after enactment.
