The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) provides 12 months of continuous postpartum Medicaid coverage in an effort to reduce postpartum morbidity and mortality in Michigan. This extension is effective April 1, 2022, and continues regardless of any changes in circumstances such as income. Postpartum Medicaid coverage includes full benefits, such as physical and behavioral health services, substance use disorder treatment, dental care and more. This has been achieved through an approved State Plan Amendment.  As part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 H.R.1319, postpartum coverage will increase access to health care coverage and ensure continuity of care during this important period.
