Today, HHS announced that Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Kansas have expanded Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) coverage for 12 months postpartum. This provides critical coverage to an additional 19K people.
An estimated 19,000 people are now eligible for vital care after pregnancy, thanks to the American Rescue Plan and Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to strengthen maternal health coverage.
In June, the White House released the Biden-Harris Administration’s Blueprint for Addressing the Maternal Health Crisis, a whole-of-government approach to combatting maternal mortality and morbidity. For far too many people, complications related to pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period can lead to devastating health outcomes and result in hundreds of deaths each year.
“I’m glad CMS could partner with Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Kansas to extend coverage for a full 12 months after pregnancy. Today, we estimate that more than 280,000 people across the country now have access to one of the greatest gifts we can give a new family: the peace of mind that comes with health care coverage,” said CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure.
CMS continues working to extend coverage for 12 months after pregnancy in other states that have submitted extension proposals, including Alabama, Colorado, Hawaii, Indiana, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
