This bill mandates that the Arkansas Medicaid Program cover blood pressure monitors for pregnant and postpartum women. Specifically, it introduces a new section to the Arkansas Code, designated as 20-77-154, which stipulates that the program must provide these monitors to eligible women during their pregnancy and for up to one year following childbirth.

Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Human Services to seek any necessary federal waivers, Medicaid state plan amendments, or other authorities to ensure the implementation of this coverage. This initiative aims to enhance maternal health by ensuring that women have access to essential monitoring tools during and after their pregnancies.
