This bill amends section 68-911 of the Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025, to require the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services to provide coverage and reimbursement for self-measure blood pressure monitoring services specifically for pregnant and postpartum women eligible under the medical assistance program. The new provisions mandate that these services include education and training on the use of home blood pressure monitoring devices, the collection of separate blood pressure readings, and the transmission of data to healthcare providers for review and treatment plan adjustments.

Additionally, the bill establishes a deadline of January 1, 2027, for the implementation of these coverage requirements. The original section 68-911 is repealed, indicating that the new provisions will replace the previous language in the statute. This legislative change aims to enhance the healthcare services available to pregnant and postpartum women, ensuring they have access to necessary monitoring and support during a critical period of their health.
