VIEW LATEST INFORMATION ON MEDICAID REDETERMINATIONS IN ILLINOIS
This past month, IAMHP wrapped up our second quarter focus on Maternal Health. Each quarter this year, IAMHP will highlight a pillar that remains a priority for the Medicaid Managed Care Organizations and the state of Illinois.
Our state has recently made huge strides to strengthen the Medicaid program and better serve pregnant people. IAMHP is proud to have championed alongside legislators to increase payment for maternity visits, increase access to a procedure that could help prevent c-sections, and extend health coverage for Medicaid members for up to one year postpartum to prevent gaps in care. However, continued collaboration is key as we continue to work toward improving health outcomes for Illinoisians.
IAMHP is proud to partner with stakeholders who continue to work toward improving maternal health outcomes. Here we highlight just some of the great work they are doing in space.
We hope you enjoy, and as always, be well and stay safe.
