In order to provide prenatal care and other health services, this final rule revises the definition of "child" under the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to clarify that an unborn child may be considered a "targeted low-income child" by the State and therefore eligible for SCHIP if other applicable State eligibility requirements are met. Under this definition, the State may elect to extend eligibility to unborn children for health benefits coverage, including prenatal care and delivery, consistent with SCHIP requirements.
This final rule implements legislation contained in section 1839(e) of the Social Security Act (the Act). That statute authorizes a Medicare premium payment arrangement whereby State and local government agencies can enter into an agreement with the Secretary to make periodic lump sum payments for the Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI) late enrollment premium surcharge amounts due for a designated group of eligible enrollees. Under this rule, we define and set out the basic rules for the new SMI premium surcharge billing agreement. In order to give States additional time for implementation of the provisions of this final rule, we are delaying the rule's effective date to six months from the date of its publication in the Federal Register.
This final rule describes the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Medicare-Endorsed Prescription Drug Card Assistance Initiative, and sets forth the necessary requirements to participate in the initiative.
