Mississippi passes quicker pregnancy Medicaid coverage to try to reduce deaths of moms and babies
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Legislature passed a bill allowing low-income women to receive Medicaid coverage earlier in pregnancy to improve maternal and infant health outcomes in the state with high rates of mortality. Pregnant women with incomes up to 194% of the federal poverty level can access Medicaid for up to 60 days while their application is being processed. The bill now awaits the governor's decision. Supporters believe this measure will help prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes by providing early prenatal care. The legislation does not expand Medicaid but aims to reduce the high rates of infant mortality and preterm birth in the state.
