Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, ~ 253,000 people now have access to critical postpartum coverage for 12 months through Medicaid and CHIP. This will help reduce MaternalMortality and improve health outcomes during & after pregnancy.
With approvals announced today, 15,000 people in ME, MN, NM, and D.C. now have access to critical postpartum health coverage, building on the Biden-Harris Administration’s ongoing efforts to strengthen our nation’s maternal health.
CMS approved actions in Maine, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Washington, D.C., to extend Medicaid and CHIP coverage for 12 months after pregnancy. As a result, up to an additional 15,000 people annually in these states—including 2,000 in Maine; 7,000 in Minnesota; 5,000 in New Mexico; and 1,000 in Washington, D.C.—will have access to Medicaid or CHIP coverage for a full year after pregnancy.
“As CMS Administrator and a mother, it’s a privilege to work with states to extend postpartum coverage across the country—most recently in Maine, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Washington, D.C,” said CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure. “The American Rescue Plan gives states an easier pathway to extend postpartum coverage—and gives parents and families the peace of mind of having health coverage during the vital first year after pregnancy.
