Coordinated Care for Moms on Medicaid: Pregnancy and Postpartum Health Homes.
This Act offers US States the option to establish "Maternity Health Homes" within the Medicaid program. The goal is to provide comprehensive, coordinated medical, behavioral, and social support services to pregnant women and those up to one year postpartum. Participation is voluntary for both patients and providers, and States receive enhanced federal funding to implement this care model.
Key points
Medicaid-eligible women can voluntarily enroll in a Maternity Health Home for coordinated care during pregnancy and the first year postpartum.
Care includes case management, access to specialists, social support, behavioral health services, and coordination with pediatric providers.
States receive increased federal funding for the initial implementation period to incentivize the adoption of this comprehensive care system.
