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 maternal hypertension and diabetes. The new chapter, 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.

The bill mandates that participating managed care organizations ensure access to the pilot program for eligible participants, provide necessary training on monitoring devices, and support health care providers in managing patient data. Additionally, the Department of Health is tasked with evaluating the program's outcomes and reporting findings to various legislative leaders within one year of implementation. The authority to operate the pilot program will expire two years after the effective date of the legislation, which is set to take effect 90 days after passage.
