The Duke Margolis Center for Health Policy recently released a report titled Redesigning Maternity Care for the COVID-19 Era and Beyond: Policy Changes and Implications for Care and Payment Reforms.
"In an attempt to address these challenges [CV19], health care leaders have turned to care and payment reforms. Early evidence on maternity care alternative payment models (APMs) from Tennessee, Ohio and Arkansas have shown APMs’ ability to reduce health care expenditures and improve health care quality. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated public health emergency have renewed focus on the need to reform maternity care models, building on the success of these earlier value-based care reforms."
Key findings include: "to maintain the innovations developed during the pandemic, maternity care and payment reforms need to enable more community-based supports through doulas, community health workers, and lactation consultants; more use of technologies such as remote monitoring; and continued support for interventions such as telehealth consultations and virtual group visits."
To learn more about CHI's efforts to secure enhanced payment for CenteringPregnancy, CenteringParenting, and CenteringHealthcare, please reach out to Kara Hinkley, Director of Advocacy & Government Affairs, East Coast Region, or Breann Westmore, Director of Advocacy & Government Affairs, Western Region.
