SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Healthy Maternity and 
Obstetric Medicine Act’’ or the ‘‘Healthy MOM Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) Pregnancy is a significant life event for mil-
lions of women in the United States each year. 
(2) For more than 30 years, our Nation, 
through the Medicaid program, has recognized that 
pregnant women need immediate access to afford-
able care, and has allowed women who meet income- 
eligibility requirements to enroll in Medicaid cov-
erage when they become pregnant. 
(3) Congress recognized the central importance 
of maternity coverage by classifying maternity and 
newborn care as one of the ten essential health bene-
fits that must now be covered on most individual 
and small group health insurance plans under sec-
tion 1302(b)(1) of the Patient Protection and Af-
fordable Care Act (42 U.S.C. 18022(b)(1)). 
(4) Congress has also recognized the significant 
challenge of maternal mortality and the need to 
eliminate disparities in maternal health outcomes for 
pregnancy-related and pregnancy-associated deaths, 
and to improve health outcomes for both mothers
