NASHP Releases Overview of State Medicaid Maternity Value-Based Payment Models
The National Academy for State Health Policy published an overview examining how states are implementing maternity-focused value-based payment models in their Medicaid programs. The report documents strategies states are using to link payment to quality metrics, care coordination, and improved perinatal outcomes. These payment reforms target maternal and infant health outcomes while aiming to control rising costs associated with pregnancy and childbirth care covered by Medicaid. The overview provides state Medicaid agencies and managed care organizations with comparative information on design approaches currently in use.
Medicaid finances nearly half of all births in the United States, making maternal health VBP design a major priority for states and MCOs managing maternity risk and quality performance under capitation.
