In any case, carriers may not, under federal law, require that a provider obtain authorization from the carrier for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of 48 hours (or 96 hours). Also, under federal law, a carrier 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.

Women’s health and cancer rights If the Member is receiving benefits for a covered mastectomy and elects breast reconstruction in connection with the mastectomy, the Member will also receive coverage for: • All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed. • Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance. • Prostheses. • Treatment of physical complications of all stages of mastectomy, including lymphedemas. These services will be provided in consultation with the Member and the attending physician and will be subject to the same Cost Shares otherwise applicable under the Benefits Booklet. Statement of Rights Under the Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act Carriers offering group health coverage generally may not, under federal law, 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 cesarean section. However, federal law generally does not prohibit the mother’s or newborn’s attending provider, after consulting with the mother, from discharging the mother or her newborn earlier than 48 hours (or 96 hours as applicable). In any case, carriers may not, under federal law, require that a provider obtain authorization from the carrier for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of 48 hours (or 96 hours). Also, under federal law, a carrier 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.
