The purpose of this legislation, known as the Optimizing Postpartum Outcomes Act of 2026, is to improve access to pelvic health services for women during the postpartum period. It aims to ensure that Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) beneficiaries receive necessary pelvic health care after childbirth, which is often overlooked. Key provisions of the law include requirements for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide guidance on what pelvic health services are covered under Medicaid and CHIP.
