Abstract
(HB4704 · 103rd Legislature) Human services: medical services; coverage for group prenatal care services; require. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 109t. Latest action (2026-06-25): Re-referred To Committee On Insurance
Why this matters
Group prenatal care coverage mandates are advancing on parallel tracks in both chambers (SB0415 in the Senate, HB4704 in the House) and across both Medicaid and private insurance (HB4703). Together these bills would establish group prenatal care as a covered modality across Michigan’s major payer categories, expanding the delivery models available for pregnancy care in the post-Prop 3 landscape.
