The MHA submitted a comment letter to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services regarding the proposed Medicaid coverage of group prenatal care, set to begin in October 2024. The MHA expressed support for the policy, highlighting its potential to significantly improve maternal and infant health outcomes in Michigan. However, in its comment letter, while supporting the policy, the MHA requested clarification on the reimbursement rate and suggested a higher rate for sessions with larger attendance due to the increased resources required.
