Webinar Examines H.R.1 Impact on Medicaid Maternal and Infant Health Programs
A webinar titled 'Medicaid Connections: Maternal and Infant Health and Justice' addresses how H.R.1 legislation affects Medicaid-funded maternity care. The session focuses on reproductive justice and optimizing Medicaid to fund holistic, culturally centered care including midwifery and doula services. As the nation's largest payer for maternity care, Medicaid plays a central role in addressing systemic health inequities for maternal and infant populations. The webinar provides guidance for policymakers on funding structures that support comprehensive perinatal services.
MCOs with maternal health contracts must understand how H.R.1 provisions may reshape benefit design, provider network requirements, and reimbursement for non-traditional perinatal services like doula care.
