The bill amends the 1956 Insurance Code of Michigan by adding a new section, 3406cc, which mandates that insurers providing health insurance policies covering perinatal and gynecological services must also cover these services when delivered by in-network healthcare providers. This includes care provided at health facilities or agencies as well as in the individual's home, and it specifies that the care can be delivered by in-network physicians, certified nurse midwives, or midwives operating within their professional scope.

Additionally, the bill defines key terms related to the new coverage requirements, including "certified nurse midwife," "health facility or agency," "midwife," and "physician," referencing existing definitions in the public health code. This legislative change aims to enhance access to essential health services for women, ensuring that they receive comprehensive care during perinatal and gynecological periods.
