Extends presumptive Medicaid eligibility for pregnant women in Florida to 180 days postpartum.

The bill amends Florida Statutes to extend presumptive Medicaid eligibility for pregnant women to 180 days postpartum. It allows qualified Medicaid providers, including hospitals and federally qualified health centers, to determine eligibility. Pregnant women with incomes at or below 185% of the federal poverty level are eligible without an assets test. The Agency for Health Care Administration must seek federal approval for this extension. The bill also mandates that medically necessary services, including those for high-risk pregnancies, are covered during this period.
