The proposed bill amends Title 35 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to establish a new chapter, CHAPTER 54A, which introduces the Maternal Health Monitoring Pilot Program. This program aims to enhance maternal health care for eligible participants—specifically pregnant individuals receiving medical assistance and enrolled in participating managed care organizations—through remote patient monitoring for conditions such as maternal hypertension and diabetes. The bill outlines the definitions of key terms, the establishment and administration of the pilot program, and the requirements for remote patient monitoring technology. It also specifies the duties of managed care organizations and the implementation of the program in various counties, particularly those identified as maternity care deserts or rural areas.

Additionally, the bill details the operational aspects of the pilot program, including a cap of 300 eligible participants and a fee payment structure for managed care organizations to cover administrative costs. A report evaluating the program's outcomes, including cost savings and health impacts, is mandated to be developed within 24 months after the program's expiration, which is set to occur two years after it becomes operational. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
