What it does
The No Surprise Bills for New Moms Act would amend federal health laws to require group health plans and insurers to provide automatic 30-day health coverage for newborns of enrolled parents, followed by a special enrollment period of at least 60 days to formally add the newborn to the plan. It applies to parents who are participants or beneficiaries in group health plans, individual health insurance, or ERISA-covered plans, ensuring coverage for newborns without gaps in care. If a claim is submitted for an unenrolled newborn, the plan must immediately notify the parent. The changes would take effect for plan years beginning on or after the date of enactment.
