The bill mandates the development of an implementation plan by the health care authority to incentivize better performance measures for Medicaid clients. These measures include breast and cervical cancer screenings, timely prenatal care, and postpartum care. The health care authority must collaborate with the American Cancer Society and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to develop education and outreach materials.
