SEC. 513. (a) CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS REGARD-
ING APPROPRIATE MINIMUM LENGTH OF STAY FOR ROU-
TINE DELIVERIES.—The Congress finds that—
(1) the Guidelines for Perinatal Care of the
American Academy of Pediatrics and the American
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists rec-
ommend, when no complications are present, a
postpartum hospital stay of 48 hours for vaginal de-
livery and 96 hours for caesarean birth, excluding
the day of delivery;
(2) the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists reports that it has become common for
insurers to limit length of stay to up to 24 hours fol-
lowing vaginal delivery and up to 72 hours following
caesarean delivery, and the American College of Ob-
stetricians and Gynecologists has received reports of
insurers proposing limits of 12 hours, and in some
cases 6 hours, for routine deliveries;
(3) the American Medical Association recently
expressed concern about the trend toward increas-
ingly brief perinatal hospital stays as routine prac-
tice in the absence of adequate data to demonstrate
the practice is safe;
