Abortion Access Varies Widely Across States Four Years After Dobbs
Four years after the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision returned abortion regulation to individual states, access to abortion services varies dramatically across the country. States have implemented divergent policies ranging from near-total bans to expanded protections and coverage. The patchwork of state laws affects Medicaid coverage of abortion services, maternal health outcomes, and health plan network adequacy requirements. Managed care organizations operating in multiple states must navigate conflicting state regulations on covered services, provider networks, and member access.
Medicaid MCOs face operational complexity managing state-by-state abortion coverage policies, network adequacy standards, and member services across states with conflicting regulatory frameworks.
