Human services: medical services; coverage for certain prenatal screenings; require. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 109o.
This bill requires Michigan's medical assistance program to cover specific prenatal screening tests for all pregnant individuals without restrictions. The law mandates that coverage for noninvasive prenatal testing cannot be limited by the patient's age or baseline risk, while expanded carrier screening must be available to everyone regardless of family history or ethnic background. Additionally, the state must set coverage guidelines based on professional medical standards and consult with healthcare providers to ensure these services are accessible to all patients.
