The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded a $1,000,000 Cooperative Agreement to the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) on January 1, 2025 for the Transforming Maternal Health (TMaH) Model (CFDA 93.869). The 10-year program aims to improve maternal health outcomes for Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries in California by providing funding and technical assistance to implement comprehensive maternal health care delivery and payment system reforms. Key initiatives include reducing low-risk cesarean sections, severe maternal morbidity, and low birthweight infant rates, while improving patient experience through a whole-person care approach. The award will enable DHCS to enhance data infrastructure, implement innovative provider payment models, develop the maternal health workforce, and address health-related social needs to reduce maternal health disparities.
