HR 6242 United States House · 119th Congress

Healthy MOM Act

The Healthy MOM Act (HR 6242) would require health insurance plans to provide a special enrollment period for pregnant individuals beginning when pregnancy is reported to the insurer. It mandates that group health plans and health insurance issuers cover maternity care, including childbirth and postpartum care, for all dependents regardless of age. The bill would extend Medicaid coverage for pregnant individuals and infants to 12 months postpartum (instead of ending at 60 days postpartum) and make this 12-month coverage permanent. These provisions would directly affect pregnant individuals, women with dependent children who are pregnant, and health insurance plans and Medicaid programs.
