Summary
The bill requires the state’s health‑care commission and insurers to pay certified nurse‑midwives and licensed certified professional midwives the same amount they would pay a physician for the same service, no matter where the care is provided. It applies to group insurance for state employees, Medicaid managed‑care plans, private health‑maintenance organizations, and other health‑insurance contracts. The goal is to improve access to birth‑center care and support the midwifery workforce.
