Title: Interim Rules Relating to Health Care Standards for Mothers and Newborns
Abstract: The Newborns' and Mothers' Health Protection Act of 1996 (NMHPA) was enacted on September 26, 1996 (PL 104-204). NMHPA amended the Public Health Service Act (PHSA) and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (ERISA) to provide protection for mothers and their newborn children with regard to the length of hospital stays following the birth of a child. NMHPA provisions are set forth in title XXVII of the PHSA and part 7 of Subtitle B of title I of ERISA. The interim rules will provide guidance with regard to the provisions of the NMHPA.
