Postpartum Extension Demonstration

Postpartum Extension Demonstration

The Postpartum Extension Demonstration waiver was developed from the passage of HB 1114 during Georgia’s 2020 legislative session. It was created by the Department of Community Health (DCH) in partnership with the Department of Public Health (DPH) to extend Medicaid coverage from 60 days to six months to allow extended access to quality care and ensure continuity of care, and care coordination during the postpartum period, and became effective July 1, 2021.
