Common use of Statement of Rights Under the Newborns’ and Mothers Clause in Contracts

Statement of Rights Under the Newborns’ and Mothers. Health Protection Act When coverage is applicable, under state law, health insurance issuers offering health insurance coverage as specified below may not restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to less than 48 hours following a vaginal delivery, or less than 96 hours following a delivery by cesarean section. However, the health insurance issuer may pay for a shorter stay if the attending heath care professional (e.g., your physician, nurse midwife, or physician assistant), after consultation with and mutual agreement by the mother, discharges the mother or newborn earlier. Also, health insurance issuers may not set the level of benefits or out-of-pocket costs so that any later portion of the 48-hour (or 96-hour) stay is treated in a manner less favorable to the mother or newborn than any earlier portion of the stay. In addition, a health insurance issuer may not require that a physician or other health care provider obtain authorization for prescribing a length of stay of up to 48 hours (or 96 hours).
