Today, CMS announced a new payment and care-delivery model to support pregnant and postpartum women and their infants. This model supports those with Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) coverage, and supports the White House Blueprint for Addressing the Maternal Health Crisis and the CMS Maternity Care Action Plan.
ARC has been pleased to support the development of this model. Our work conducting research, advising payment reform, performing data analytics, and preparing actuarial estimates and opinions has helped shape the model design and scope.
We are optimistic that this model will enable participating states to meaningfully improve the health of new mothers and children.
