Summary
The WELLS Act amends Medicare requirements for hospitals to mandate discharge plans for pregnant individuals experiencing labor symptoms who are being discharged before delivery. The bill requires these plans to include clinical justification, travel distance assessment, transportation verification, backup facility identification, and confirmation of patient understanding. Additionally, the bill enhances rural maternal care training programs by requiring racial bias training, establishes performance milestones for grant recipients, creates a multi-center implementation science initiative to evaluate training models, and directs the Department of Health and Human Services to develop a public maternal health dashboard.
