Bill overview
The Keeping Obstetrics Local Act aims to bolster financial support for rural and safety net hospitals that provide maternity, labor, and delivery services. It seeks to ensure adequate payment rates for these services under Medicaid and CHIP, increase federal financial participation, and establish anchor payments for low-volume obstetric hospitals. Additionally, the bill expands coverage for maternal health care, including continuous benefits for pregnant individuals and increased support for depression and anxiety screening. Finally, it addresses workforce challenges and improves data collection related to obstetric services.
