SB0051

Indiana SB0051 mandates postpartum care follow-up appointments for Medicaid recipients within 60 days of childbirth.

Indiana SB0051 requires hospitals, health care providers, and the office of the secretary of family and social services or a managed care organization to ensure that a Medicaid recipient or an individual eligible for Medicaid who gives birth schedules a follow-up appointment for postpartum care within 60 days from the date of birth. This bill aims to improve postpartum care for new mothers on Medicaid by ensuring timely follow-up appointments.
