Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends health insurance law to require coverage for maternal mental health screenings and postpartum services, including at least one prenatal and one postpartum screening plus medically necessary additional ones, and removes prior authorization for certain FDA-approved drugs treating maternal mental health conditions. It defines maternal mental health but contains no provisions on abortion, gestational limits, exceptions, medication abortion, travel, provider regulations, personhood, or any other listed topic. No topics outside abortion are substantively addressed.
