HB 1952 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Requires insurance coverage for childbirth education classes

This bill requires Missouri's MO HealthNet program to cover childbirth education classes for eligible low-income individuals. It achieves this by updating existing state health insurance statutes to include payment for prenatal and childbirth preparation courses as a covered benefit. The changes directly impact pregnant women enrolled in the state's Medicaid program by ensuring their insurance plans pay for these educational services. The legislation modifies current payment rules to explicitly allow reimbursement for these classes without adding new funding requirements.
