The Mississippi Division of Medicaid has been awarded a $17 million Cooperative Agreement by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under the Transforming Maternal Health (TMaH) Model (CFDA 93.869). The 10-year project aims to enhance access to maternal care, improve maternal health quality and safety, and promote whole-person care in Mississippi. Key initiatives include assessing midwifery workforce capacity, exploring the impact of doulas and community health workers, expanding data collection and interoperability, implementing risk assessments, expanding group perinatal care, supporting patient safety bundles, and implementing value-based payment incentives. The grant will enable the Division to accelerate critical transformation of maternal healthcare delivery and ensure an equity-focused, collaborative approach across the state.
