Blood Pressure MATTERS Act mandates coverage of self-measured blood pressure monitoring for pregnant and postpartum individuals.

The Blood Pressure MATTERS Act amends the Social Security Act, the Public Health Service Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to require coverage of self-measured blood pressure monitoring for pregnant and postpartum individuals. This includes coverage under Medicaid, CHIP, group health plans, and health insurance issuers. The coverage must be provided without cost-sharing and does not require a diagnosis of a hypertensive disorder. The bill also limits the provision of such devices to one per individual over a two-year period.
