AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create a special enrollment period so that pregnant people can sign up for health insurance through the ACA Exchanges, individual plans, and employer group plans once the pregnancy is reported or confirmed, starting with plan years in 2027. It would require health plans that cover dependents to include maternity care, including labor and delivery, for pregnant dependents of any age. It would make pregnancy a qualifying life event for federal employee health plans. It would also require all state Medicaid and CHIP programs to provide 12 months of continuous postpartum coverage and would bar states from lowering Medicaid income limits for pregnant people and infants below their January 1, 2025 levels.
