DIRECTING THE DIVISION OF MEDICAID & MEDICAL ASSISTANCE TO EXPLORE CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM INITIATIVES.

This Senate Joint Resolution directs the Division of Medicaid & Medical Assistance (DMMA) to explore amending our Delaware Medicaid State Plan to allow for the adoption of the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) From-Conception-to-End-of-Pregnancy (FCEP) option and the creation of a Health Services Initiative (HSI) that will allow our State to use federal funding to partially cover prenatal and postpartum care for individuals otherwise ineligible for free or low-cost health-care coverage due to immigration status.

This Joint Resolution also requires DMMA to provide a report to the General Assembly as to its findings no later than January 1, 2026.
