Supporting Healthy Moms and Babies Act
To prevent cost-sharing requirements for prenatal, childbirth, neonatal, perinatal, or postpartum health care.
The bill, known as HB3762 or the Supporting Healthy Moms and Babies Act, aims to eliminate cost-sharing for essential healthcare services related to prenatal care, childbirth, neonatal, perinatal, and postpartum care. This means that families would not have to pay out-of-pocket for these critical healthcare services, potentially reducing financial barriers to receiving necessary medical care.
This bill would primarily benefit pregnant women and new mothers who require these health services. By removing cost-sharing requirements, the bill seeks to ensure that families can access important medical care without financial stress, which could lead to better health outcomes for both mothers and babies.
As of June 5, 2025, the bill has been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, as well as the Committees on Ways and Means, and Education and Workforce for further review. The next steps will involve committee consideration and potential amendments before the bill can move forward in the legislative process.
