Presumptive Medicaid Eligibility for Pregnant Women

Summary

The bill would let hospitals, health centers, birth centers and similar entities make a presumptive Medicaid eligibility determination for pregnant women. Those women would receive Medicaid benefits for all medically necessary services until a full eligibility decision is made or the federal time limit is reached. The measure aimed to improve access to care during pregnancy but died in committee.
