State lawmakers consider Medicaid coverage bill for pregnant women
SUMMARY: Mississippi may provide Medicaid coverage earlier in pregnancy to improve health outcomes for moms and babies. House Bill 539 would allow up to 60 days of presumptive eligibility for Medicaid starting July 1st, meaning a pregnant woman's outpatient care would be covered by Medicaid while her application is processed. Mississippi, one of the poorest states with the worst infant mortality rate, aims to address the importance of early prenatal care. The bill passed the House with bipartisan support and is now moving to the Senate for consideration.
