The proposed bill aims to amend Arkansas Code Title 20, Chapter 77, Subchapter 1, by adding a new section that mandates the extension of Medicaid coverage for postpartum mothers to one year following childbirth. This new provision, designated as 20-77-154. Extension of one year for postpartum coverage, requires the Department of Human Services to take necessary actions, including applying for federal approval through a state plan amendment or waiver, to implement this extended coverage. Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Department of Human Services is responsible for promulgating rules to effectively administer this new section. The intent of the legislation is to enhance healthcare access for postpartum mothers, ensuring they receive necessary medical support during the critical year after giving birth.
