Medicaid Coverage of Blood Pressure Monitoring Devices

Summary

The bill would require Florida’s Medicaid program to pay for validated at‑home blood pressure monitors and the appropriate cuff for patients diagnosed with hypertension, when a prescriber orders them. Coverage would also include repairs or replacement parts, and patients would need to see their provider at least every six months for the first 18 months and annually thereafter. The measure, aimed at improving hypertension management, died in the Health Policy committee.
