This bill mandates the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to provide quarterly reports on Medicaid enhancements for children and pregnant women, starting from October 1, 2025, and continuing through the biennium ending June 30, 2027. The reports will be submitted to the oversight committee on health and human services, relevant legislative committees, and the governor. They will include updates on the department's efforts to reduce administrative burdens for enrollees and progress in expanding access to voluntary, evidence-based maternal home visiting programs. After June 30, 2027, the reporting frequency will change to annual submissions, and all reports will be made available on the DHHS website.

The bill also includes a repeal and reenactment of RSA 167:68, IV(d), which outlines these new reporting requirements. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025. The changes aim to enhance transparency and accountability in the administration of Medicaid enhancements, particularly focusing on the continuous coverage for the postpartum period.
