Plain-English Summary

The federal government would direct states to cover certain blood tests that screen for and detect preeclampsia—a dangerous pregnancy condition—under Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. This would help ensure pregnant women, particularly low-income women covered by these programs, can access early detection tests that could prevent serious health complications. The guidance would clarify which specific tests states should pay for to catch this condition before it becomes life-threatening.
