Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a data brief on the demographic information for Medicaid and the Childrenâs Health Insurance Program (CHIP) enrollees who had a live birth covered by Medicaid or CHIP in 2021 and experienced either a preterm birth or a severe maternal morbidity (SMM) condition in the year. This data brief is part of continued efforts by CMS to measure disparities in health outcomes and access to care and to make focused, evidence-based investments to improve health equity for individuals covered by Medicaid and CHIP.
