The ATA’s proposed legislation would provide telemedicine for Medicaid beneficiaries with high-risk pregnancies and neonatal care needs. Medicaid enrollees would receive care through a birthing network that would use telemedicine technologies to help treat pre-term labor, gestational hypertension, mild preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus and other conditions.
The proposal, which is partly based on the University of Arkansas ANGELS Program’s birthing network, would employ a shared savings approach and a 90 percent contribution from the federal government in the first two years to encourage provider and state adoption.
