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.
为了提供产前护理和其他健康服务,本最终规则修订了《州儿童健康保险计划》(SCHIP)中“儿童”的定义,以明确未出生的胎儿可被州政府视为“目标低收入儿童”,因此,如果符合其他适用的州资格要求,就有资格享受SCHIP福利。根据这一定义,州政府可选择将未出生胎儿的资格扩大到健康福利覆盖范围,包括产前护理和分娩,这与SCHIP的要求一致。
