Michigan SB0415 requires coverage for group prenatal care services under the medical assistance program.

Michigan SB0415 amends the existing law by adding a new section that mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to provide coverage for group prenatal care services. These services, defined as a series of prenatal care visits in a group setting, are based on an evidence-based model that includes health assessments, social and clinical support, and educational activities. The group setting fosters a family-centered environment and peer-to-peer interaction, aiding pregnant individuals in supporting one another during pregnancy and into early childhood.
