EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION
There is no anticipated direct material effect on governmental expenditures as a result of this measure. The proposed law
requires healthcare providers who provide prenatal and postpartum care to women to provide screening for signs and
symptoms of hypertension and preeclampsia if the screening is in the best interest of the patient based on the provider's
professional and medical judgment. Since these screenings are generally and routinely covered in most policies, the LA
Department of Insurance (LDI) estimates that there will be no material costs to the private insurance industry as a result of
this measure.
REVENUE EXPLANATION
There is no anticipated direct material effect on governmental revenues as a result of this measure.
