Thom Bridge - member image share, Independent Record * Facebook * Twitter * WhatsApp * SMS * Email * Print * Copy article link * Save AP HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A judge in Montana temporarily blocked a new rule Monday that would have required physicians in the state to provide prior documentation showing that an abortion is medically necessary before the state’s Medicaid program will authorize payment for the procedure. District Court Judge Mike Menahan wrote that his order “will serve the public interest by ensuring that Medicaid-eligible Montanans continue to have access to constitutionally protected abortions and safe, effective medical care.” All three of the state’s abortion providers sued in District Court in Helena on Friday to challenge the rule they argue will “effectively eliminate abortion access for most Medicaid patients in the state.” PEOPLE ARE ALSO READING… * Organizers at The 712 Initiative rev up for this year's Celebrate CB * NFL DRAFT: Duggan drafted by Chargers * Omaha Streetcar Authority, Council Bluffs agree to collaborate on streetcar extension * DAY 3 DRAKE RELAYS: Teigland second in girls 400 hurdles; area teams aplenty in 4x100 * Iowa restaurant inspection update: Dead rodents, yellow slime and dodgy hotdogs * GIRLS SOCCER: Lynx shut out Yellow Jackets in city match * Harrah's Casino nominated for Casino of the Year by Academy of Country Music * PREP TENNIS: Titans conquer girls city meet for fourth straight season; boys win back to back * PREP SOCCER: Late PK pushes Lynx past Cardinals * DAY 2 DRAKE RELAYS: Fifth-best time in 100 hurdle prelims for Teigland; AL's Perez, LC's Matiyow throw discus * DAY 1 DRAKE RELAYS: LC's Matiyow, Glenwood's Skarnulis, AL's Sandbothe earn top 10 places * Omaha woman killed in single-vehicle crash Wednesday near Carter Lake * Council Bluffs is going to the dogs * Community bench dedicated to late former Lewis Central soccer standout * Legends lives on in Council Bluffs with announcement of new owners “It shouldn’t matter what zip code you live in, how much money you make, or what insurance you use—everyone deserves access to the full range of reproductive health care services available in Montana,” Planned Parenthood of Montana said Monday in a joint statement. The abortion providers, along with the ACLU of Montana and the Center for Reproductive Rights, argued that the rule, which was set to take effect May 8, violates the right to privacy and equal protection under the Montana Constitution. A hearing on their request for a preliminary injunction is scheduled for May 12. “We stand by our rule to protect the integrity of Montana’s Medicaid program and look forward to defending it in court,” Charlie Brereton, director of the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, said after the rule was challenged. Under the rule, in order for Medicaid to pay for abortions, physicians must provide information about the number of pregnancies and children the woman has, the results of a physical exam, pregnancy test, gestational estimate as well as documentation of the reason for the procedure and a signed consent form. The prior authorization process is supposed to be completed within three working days. Montana’s Legislature also passed a bill last week to put similar requirements into state law starting on July 1. That measure will go to Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte for his signature. The health department said a review of abortions over the past decade led it to believe it was paying for elective abortions because the agency did not receive enough documentation from providers to prove the procedures were medically necessary. Medicaid regulations say federal money can only be used for abortion care in cases of rape, incest or a threat to the life of the mother. But under a 1995 court ruling, Montana Medicaid must also cover the cost of abortions that are considered medically necessary. Montana Medicaid will only cover abortions provided by physicians — the rule and the legislation state — to meet federal Medicaid guidelines. Physician assistants can legally provide abortion care in Montana and the Montana Supreme Court heard arguments in December over whether nurse practitioners can provide abortion care if they are properly trained. One nurse practitioner in Montana has been allowed to perform abortions since 2018 under a ruling in that case. The health department argued a physical exam and documentation ensures the safety of the patient, can rule out ectopic pregnancy and ensure the gestational age is within Food and Drug Administration guidelines for the type of abortion being performed. The state does acknowledge that in the case of rare, severe fetal abnormalities that would be incompatible with life upon delivery, the situation may not meet the definition of medical necessity and that Medicaid wouldn’t provide coverage. Planned Parenthood has clinics in Billings, Great Falls and Helena. Other providers have in-person clinics in Missoula and Whitefish. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
