What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Health Services to seek approval from the

federal Department of Health and Human Services to extend until the last day of the

month in which the 365th day after the last day of the pregnancy falls Medical

Assistance benefits to women who are eligible for those benefits when pregnant.

Currently, postpartum women are eligible for Medical Assistance benefits until the

last day of the month in which the 60th day after the last day of the pregnancy falls.

2021 Wisconsin Act 58

required DHS to seek approval from the federal Department

of Health and Human Services to extend these postpartum Medical Assistance

benefits until the last day of the month in which the 90th day after the last day of

the pregnancy falls. On June 3, 2022, DHS filed a Section 1115 Demonstration

Waiver application with the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to

extend postpartum coverage for eligible Medical Assistance recipients, as required

by

2021 Wisconsin Act 58

. The Medical Assistance program is a joint federal and

state program that provides health services to individuals who have limited financial

resources.
