What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill requires the Department of Health Services to request any necessary waiver of federal Medicaid law or amendment to the state Medical Assistance plan to allow Medical Assistance reimbursement for maternal mental health screenings. The bill directs DHS to develop standards and best practices for maternal mental health screenings in consultation with organizations that work to improve maternal mental health and that are led by Black persons, Indigenous persons, or other persons of color. The bill provides that maternal mental health screenings may be provided by a licensed midwife, a licensed nurse-midwife, or any other licensed health care provider who may provide the maternal mental health screening within the provider’s scope of practice. The Medical Assistance program is a joint state and federal program that provides health services to individuals who have limited financial resources. Additionally, the bill requires health insurance policies and self-insured governmental health plans to provide coverage of a maternal mental health screening as described in the bill for each pregnancy.

This proposal may contain a health insurance mandate requiring a social and financial impact report under s. 601.423, stats.
