**Eliminates cost sharing for in-network mental health and substance use disorder care for pregnant and postpartum people.** The bill would require group and individual health plans and Federal Employees Health Benefits Program plans to cover those services without deductibles, copays, or coinsurance from the diagnosis of pregnancy through the 1-year period after the pregnancy, and it would apply under the Public Health Service Act, ERISA, and the Internal Revenue Code. Telehealth services are included.
