The proposed bill amends Title 35 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to establish the Maternal Health Monitoring Pilot Program, which aims to enhance maternal health care for eligible participants through remote patient monitoring for conditions such as maternal hypertension and diabetes. The new chapter, designated as Chapter 54A, outlines the definitions, administration, and operational requirements of the pilot program. Key provisions include the establishment of eligibility criteria for participants, the selection of managed care organizations and technology vendors, and the implementation of remote monitoring technologies that comply with federal regulations.

Additionally, the bill mandates that participating managed care organizations ensure access to the pilot program for eligible participants and outlines the responsibilities of the selected vendor in delivering monitoring devices and training. The Department of Health is tasked with evaluating the program's outcomes within a year of its implementation and reporting findings to various legislative leaders. The authority to implement the pilot program will expire two years after the effective date of the legislation, which is set to take effect 90 days after passage.
