No change to abortion access model confidence 70%

Directs implementation of presumptive eligibility specifically for pregnant individuals under Medicaid and related programs, facilitating earlier coverage for pregnancy-related care without addressing abortion access or restrictions.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill directs DMAS to seek federal approval for presumptive eligibility determinations by qualified entities for pregnant people who qualify for Medicaid for Pregnant Women, FAMIS MOMS, or FAMIS Prenatal Coverage. This expands access to public insurance coverage for pregnancy-related healthcare (abortion/funding-insurance expands) but does not mention abortion, gestational limits, or any abortion-related policy (abortion/other neutral). No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
