New Health Affairs Scholar article on postpartum care under Medicaid. 76% had a visit between 61-365 days after birth, but this varied by state and individual factors. Our findings show benefits of recent 12-mo. postpartum extensions but suggest where gaps in care remain. doi.org/10.1093/hasc...

Thanks @ddiamond.bsky.social ! If you want to see how many people would lose coverage in your state check out this map from my @urbaninstitute.bsky.social colleagues: www.urban.org/data-tools/h...

Nearly every state has newly extended pregnancy-related Medicaid to a full year postpartum. But our new @urbaninstitute.bsky.social research finds limited communication to enrollees, providers, and other stakeholders could dampen extensions’ potential positive effects. www.urban.org/research/pub...

Check out our team's latest T-MSIS publication, showing well-child visit rates among Black and white Medicaid-enrolled children were far below recommended levels in 2019, and they dropped even lower in 2020.
