This Amendment revises the method by which the Department of Health and Social Services shall extend Medicaid postpartum coverage clarifying that it is extended to 12 months via the state plan amendment option created by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. This Amendment also strikes Section 2, which made the Act effective upon enactment with respect to continuation of comprehensive coverage for postpartum patients as determined through the Renewal of the Determination that a Public Health Emergency exists as a result of the continued consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
