Session Description
Some states have implemented extended Medicaid coverage for one year postpartum, but there is limited guidance on the use of that time. We propose strategies to leverage that time to optimize maternal health in three crucial areas: mental health, pelvic floor heath, and comorbidity optimization in order to achieve health equity. We will share the Florida experience.
