Friday, May 12, 2023 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From
Health Affairs

Dear John,

Yesterday marked the end of the US public health emergency declaration
associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Health Affairs' Chris Fleming interviewed Lawrence Gostin from the World
Health Organization Collaborating Center on National and Global Health
Law at Georgetown University about what this means for public health
<[link removed]>.


Medicaid Payment For Postpartum LARC

State Medicaid programs are increasingly paying for immediate postpartum
long-acting reversible contraception (LARC).

Analyzing data from sixteen states during the period 2012-18, Taryn
Quinlan and coauthors find that Medicaid coverage of postpartum LARC
increases its use overall
<[link removed]>,
with increases among Black mothers and Hispanic mothers that are 3.7 and
5.5 percentage points greater than those among White mothers,
respectively.

"Given that White respondents' use of postpartum LARC did not change
significantly after policy implementation, we hypothesize that White
Medicaid enrollees had been largely successful in accessing their
preferred contraception methods before state adoption of the payment
changes," the authors write.

The authors also discuss the policy implications of their research,
emphasizing that "additional work should examine whether this increase
reflects patients' preferences and whether hospitals' immediate
postpartum LARC policies and practices take a patient-centered approach
that supports reproductive autonomy and equity."
