MINOR

The bill was amended to clarify that 'group prenatal care services' include support extending from birth until 12 months of age, rather than ending at the birth of the child. Additionally, the definition of these services was expanded to explicitly include health assessments, social and clinical support, educational activities, and peer-to-peer interaction in a family-centered environment.

Scope change

The bill's scope now explicitly covers the period from birth through 12 months of age, broadening the timeframe for required coverage compared to the previous version which focused solely on prenatal care.

DEFINITION

Added a new definition for 'early childhood' to specify coverage extends from birth until 12 months of age.

Expanded the definition of 'group prenatal care services' to include health assessments, social and clinical support, educational activities, and peer-to-peer interaction.

MINOR

The bill removed the definition of 'early childhood' and reorganized the definition of 'group prenatal care services' to focus on the service model rather than specific visit counts in the text. It also renumbered the definition of 'group setting' to follow the new structure. These changes clarify the scope of the required coverage without altering the core mandate for insurers to provide group prenatal care.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains the same, applying to insurers delivering health insurance in Michigan, but the specific definitions of the required services have been streamlined.

DEFINITION

The definition of 'early childhood' as the period from birth until 12 months of age was deleted.

The definition of 'group prenatal care services' was simplified to describe the visits and evidence-based model without including the detailed description of peer support and early childhood support in the same section.

The definition of 'group setting' was renumbered from subsection (c) to subsection (b) to align with the new structure.
