Presumptive Medicaid Eligibility for Pregnant Women

Summary

The bill would allow certain hospitals, health centers and other qualified entities to determine that a pregnant woman is presumptively eligible for Medicaid, giving her coverage for the pregnancy and the first year after birth while a full eligibility review is completed. It seeks to speed access to needed health care and keep existing prior authorizations in force. The measure died in the Health Policy Committee and did not become law.
