PREEMPT Act

Summary

The PREEMPT Act would amend the Social Security Act so the Secretary of Health and Human Services must provide states with guidance on which preeclampsia screening and early‑detection tests can be covered under Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. It also sets deadlines for issuing that guidance and for offering technical assistance to states that ask for help. The goal is to improve health outcomes for pregnant women, especially those at higher risk.
