Why 3/5: Expands Medicaid coverage for remote monitoring, improving access to care for high-risk pregnant and postpartum individuals.
Virginia Medicaid will now cover remote patient monitoring services via telemedicine for high-risk pregnant and postpartum patients for up to 12 months after birth, expanding reimbursement for these services. The Department of Medical Assistance Services is also directed to study expanding this coverage to patients with advanced maternal age and report its findings by November 1, 2026.
