Bill > S1797

This bill, the IMPACT to Save Moms Act, establishes a demonstration program from fiscal years 2024 to 2028 that allows states to test payment models for maternity care provided under Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The Secretary of Health and Human Services will coordinate with various stakeholders, such as state Medicaid programs, maternity care providers, patient advocates, and community organizations, to design alternative payment models that aim to improve maternal health outcomes, particularly for demographic groups with elevated rates of maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, and health disparities. The bill also requires the Secretary to evaluate the impact of the demonstration program on maternal health outcomes, spending, and patient experience, and to provide a recommendation to Congress on whether the program should be continued and expanded nationally.
