Series: Evaluating the Accuracy of Medicaid Managed Care Provider Directories for Maternal Health Care Providers

OBJECTIVE

Pregnant women in the United States experience worse pregnancy outcomes than women in any other high-income country. Maternal health care can improve pregnancy outcomes; however, many pregnant women in the United States lack access to maternal health care. Medicaid is the Nation's largest maternal health care payor, financing more than 40 percent of all U.S. births, and many pregnant women enrolled in Medicaid are enrolled in managed care plans. This study will review Medicaid managed care provider directories to evaluate the accuracy of information listed for maternal health care providers.
