State Rep. Vanessa Summers INDIANAPOLIS Low-income Hoosier mothers will soon be covered under Medicaid for up to a full year postpartum, an increase to the 60 days currently covered. Indiana has the nation’s third-highest maternal mortality rate, with Black mothers at higher risk than their white counterparts. An estimated 53 Black women die out of every 100,000 births compared to 44 white women. Rep. Vanessa Summers, D-Indianapolis, celebrated that the news came during Black Maternal Health Week. Summers had written legislation pushing for the Medicaid expansion in the last two sessions along with other maternal mortality health care bills. “Eighty-seven percent of pregnancy-associated deaths occurred postpartum, with a significant portion of those coming six weeks after giving birth,” Summers said in a statement. “By expanding Medicaid coverage, we are providing mothers with the continued care they need to survive and be around to raise their babies.”
