Maryland Medical Assistance Program - Maternal Health Self-Measured Blood Pressure Monitoring

SB 94 requires Maryland's Medicaid program (Maryland Medical Assistance Program) to cover self-measured blood pressure monitoring starting January 1, 2026. It directly affects pregnant individuals, postpartum people, and those with chronic conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, heart disease, or cardiometabolic disorders who are enrolled in the program. The bill mandates coverage for validated home blood pressure monitors and reimburses healthcare providers for patient training, data transmission, and remote monitoring support. Additionally, it requires the program to develop an education campaign about the technology and submit annual reports on usage and outcomes starting in 2027.
