The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services today approved Georgia’s request to extend state Medicaid benefits by four months for new mothers. Now, new moms with incomes up to 220 percent of the federal poverty level will be covered for six months, instead of the current 60 days. “We are so pleased that the Georgia Postpartum Extension waiver has been approved and we would like to thank our federal partners for their continuous engagement throughout the application process and for their expeditious approval,” says Georgia Department of Community Health Commissioner Frank Berry. The state initially filed its waiver request with CMS in December 2020. Now that it’s approved, Georgia becomes just one of three states to lengthen Medicaid coverage for postpartum women.
