This bill amends the Medical Assistance Act to require the 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 self-measurement readings, daily data collection, and the transmission of this data to healthcare providers for review and treatment plan adjustments.

Additionally, the bill repeals the original section 68-911 of the Revised Statutes Supplement, 2025, thereby updating the legal framework governing medical assistance coverage. The implementation of these changes is aimed at improving health outcomes for pregnant and postpartum women by ensuring they have access to necessary monitoring services that can help manage their health effectively.
