H.R. 4977 — Connected MOM Act

This section directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services, not later than 18 months after enactment, to submit to Congress a report on state Medicaid authorities and practices for covering remote physiologic monitoring devices (e.g., pulse oximeters, blood pressure cuffs, scales, blood glucose monitors), including limitations and barriers to coverage, impacts on maternal health outcomes, and recommendations to address such issues to improve maternal and child health outcomes for pregnant and postpartum women enrolled in state Medicaid programs. Not later than six months after that report, the Secretary must update resources for state Medicaid programs, such as telehealth toolkits, consistent with the report's recommendations.
