The postpartum period is a critical stage for birthing people and their newborns. More than half of pregnancy-related deaths occur during the 12-month postpartum period, with 12 percent occurring after six weeks postpartum. Laudably, recent legislation has enabled an unprecedented expansion of pregnancy-related Medicaid coverage to continuously cover the full 12-month postpartum period from the previously required 60 days.
Objectives To explore how the Medicaid continuous coverage requirement and unwinding process was implemented in three states with diverse existing policy environments and implications for the implementation of post-emergency 12-month postpartum extensions. Data Sources State data on unwinding performance and qualitative in-depth interviews with 48 stakeholders and patient-facing healthcare workers in Texas, New York and New Jersey.
