Relating to maternal mortality and morbidity in this state and Medicaid eligibility of and coverage for certain services provided to pregnant women.
HB 3121 clarifies definitions related to maternal deaths in Texas, distinguishing between "pregnancy-associated death" (death during or within one year of pregnancy) and "pregnancy-related death" (death related to pregnancy management). The bill establishes the Texas Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee to analyze these cases, ensuring confidentiality for all collected data. It also exempts healthcare providers from certain reporting requirements when gathering information for the review process. The legislation does not directly change Medicaid eligibility but creates a framework for data collection to improve maternal health outcomes.
