CMS Issues Nearly $9M Grant to Support Women’s Health Coverage for Critical Services

CMS’s new Expanding Access to Women’s Health program seeks to solidify women’s health coverage and ensure access to critical health benefits in 14 states (AR, CO, HI, MA, ME, MS, NE, NH, NJ, NM, PA, VT, WA, and WI) and D.C. Recipients can use these funds to develop activities and foster educational campaigns to address historical disparities in access to reproductive and maternal health care. Improving and broadening women’s health care and coverage are critical to reducing maternal mortality rates and improving women’s overall well-being.
