Strategies To Improve Access to Maternal Health Care in Medicaid Managed Care

Pregnant people in the United States experience the worst pregnancy outcomes in the developed world, and significant disparities exist. Maternal health care can improve pregnant people's pregnancy outcomes; however, many pregnant people in the United States lack access to maternal health care. Medicaid is the Nation's largest maternal health care payor, financing more than 42 percent of all U.S. births, and many pregnant Medicaid beneficiaries are enrolled in managed care plans. This study will identify strategies to increase access overall and reduce disparities in access to maternal health care for Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in managed care.
