A bill to amend 1956 PA 218, entitled “The insurance code of 1956,” (MCL 500.100 to 500.8302) by adding section 3406cc.
Senate Bill No. 827 proposes an amendment to the Insurance Code of 1956. This amendment, identified as section 3406cc, requires health insurance policies in Michigan that offer coverage for perinatal and gynecological services to also cover these services when provided in health facilities, agencies, or the patient's home by qualified professionals such as physicians, nurse midwives, or licensed midwives. The bill emphasizes the importance of reimbursing providers in a manner that promotes quality, cost-effective care, supports evidence-based payment models, and aims to reduce risks in subsequent pregnancies. The enactment of S.B.0827 is contingent upon the passage of a related bill in either the Senate or the House.
