Recent federal approval ensures that an average of 12,000 Hoosier moms will have access to expanded coverage every year.
A Medicaid expansion that covers mothers for a year after birth has officially been made permanent. A temporary measure has been in effect since January, but recent federal approval ensures that an average of 12,000 Hoosier moms will have access to expanded coverage every year. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 39% of births in Indiana are covered by Medicaid.
"The only reason you aren't seeking care is because you can't afford it? That's tragic and that's something we just shouldn't allow to be acceptable in our state," Bauer said. Data on maternal suicide isn't officially tracked, but 20/20 Mom's research suggests that suicide may be one of the leading causes of death in the first year after childbirth. The group also says that most of those suicides are completed 6-12 months after giving birth.Indiana is one of the worst states for maternal mortality. The state's Maternal Mortality Review Committee deemed 87% of Indiana's reviewed pregnancy-associated deaths were preventable in 2018.
