Posted on: 3/24/23

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services yesterday approved a state plan amendment allowing Oklahoma to extend postpartum coverage from 60 days to 12 months after pregnancy for Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program enrollees under the American Rescue Plan Act. Oklahoma joins 28 other states and Washington, D.C., in opting to extend the coverage under either the ARPA state plan option or section 1115 demonstration authority.
