Federal study would review home infant monitors to help prevent sudden infant death.
A new federal study would look into home monitors for babies to help prevent sudden infant death. The Department of Health and Human Services would gather evidence on how well these monitors work and suggest if insurance should cover them. This could give parents more information and potentially better access to these devices.
Today, there is no specific federal study or report required on home cardiorespiratory monitors for infants. After this bill, the Department of Health and Human Services would be directed to conduct such a study and submit a report to Congress within one year. This report would include evidence on monitor effectiveness, new care models, health care plan criteria, and recommendations for insurance coverage.
