SB 1101 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: postpartum home visits.

This bill requires hospitals in Wisconsin to offer free postpartum home visits to new mothers and their infants upon request, provided the birth occurred within the last 14 days. The visits can be conducted by trained doulas, licensed midwives, nurse-midwives, or other licensed healthcare providers and must be scheduled within 14 days of the request. Additionally, the bill mandates that state and local disability insurance plans and self-insured health plans covering maternity services must include coverage for these visits without any cost-sharing requirements. The bill also establishes definitions for postpartum home visits and specifies that hospitals cannot charge patients directly for these services.
