With a recent government study showing some new mothers are
forced to leave the hospital as little as 12 hours or less after giving
birth, and pediatricians growing concerns that shorter stays could
translate into potential health problems. Congress has stepped in to say -
enough.
On January 1, 1998 insurance companies will be required to pay
for at least a 48 hour stay for vaginal delivery births, up to 96 hours for
c-sections, and while the mother and doctor can decide to leave earlier,
health plans will be prohibited from offering doctors any incentive for early
discharges.
The 48 hour provision is something President Clinton and the first

Also going into effect the first of 1998, an agreement meant to reduce
discrimination in insurance coverage for mental illness.
While health plans will not be required to cover mental health,
if they do the benefits cannot be more restrictive than physical benefits,
lifetime and annual limits can no longer be separate, although
co-payments and deductibles can, businesses with 50 or fewer employees are
exempt.
SEN. PETE DOMENICI/R-NM:
WHAT THEY CAN NO LONGER DO IS COVER THE MENTALLY ILL AND SAY YOU HAVE A SMALL

The insurance industry argues the new mother and mental health
provisions will be expensive and are nothing more than government mandates. The
legislation does contain a clause requiring that costs be monitored, but both
enjoy widespread support on Capitol Hill, and lawmakers are willing to take the
