Passed out of committee with a committee substitute. Returned to the Full House Appropriations committee. The Substitute gets rid of most of the bill, only keeps the part that tells the Oklahoma Medicaid Program shall reimburse for prenatal, delivery, and postpartum services separately instead of a global or all-inclusive payment system
HB 3904 is a Medicaid maternal-health package that tells the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to pay for a broader set of pregnancy and postpartum services.
It requires Medicaid to reimburse for depression screening during pregnancy and postpartum, and it moves maternity payments away from one “global” bundle by paying prenatal, delivery, and postpartum services separately, including things like labs, testing, remote monitoring, and gestational diabetes tools when medically necessary.
It also creates presumptive eligibility for pregnant women so they can get prenatal care immediately while the full application is processed. On top of that, it directs coverage for home- and tech-enabled care like at-home blood pressure monitoring, remote ultrasounds when the patient is at home, and prenatal/postpartum home visits by doulas, community health workers, or other qualified personnel.
An Act relating to Medicaid; clarifying and standardizing coverage and reimbursement for certain maternal health services; providing for depression screening for pregnant and postpartum women; authorizing flexible payment structures for prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care; establishing presumptive eligibility for pregnant women; directing coverage for certain technology-enabled and community-based maternal health services; directing coverage for certain maternal health services delivered through remote and home-based care models; providing for codification; and providing an effective date.
