This bill aims to enhance Medicaid coverage and reimbursement for maternal health services in Oklahoma. It introduces several new provisions, including mandatory reimbursement for depression screening during pregnancy and the postpartum period, as well as separate reimbursements for prenatal, delivery, and postpartum services instead of a global payment model. The bill also establishes presumptive eligibility for pregnant women, allowing them to access prenatal care immediately while their full applications are processed. Additionally, it mandates coverage for self-measurement blood pressure monitoring services, remote ultrasound procedures, and home visitation services provided by qualified personnel.

The legislation emphasizes the use of technology in maternal health care, directing coverage for remote and home-based care models. It allows for flexible payment structures and encourages the use of community-based services to improve access to care. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority is tasked with implementing these provisions, including applying for necessary federal waivers and adopting rules to ensure compliance. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
