Instead of just providing postnatal healthcare for 60 days, the new Medicaid benefits extend up to one year.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services decided Tuesday to allow the state to expand Medicaid benefits for new parents and pregnant Ohioans.Ohio had asked for this back in the Spring, but it was just approved.
Medicaid reported that around 21,000 people are now eligible in Ohio and Darianna Lorenzi-Sutton is one of them. Lorenzi-Sutton is about to have her first baby and she's looking forward to jumping into postnatal care. Support from her family and the Pregnant with Possibilities Resource Center has helped her move smoothly through her pregnancy, she added.
"Eighty-seven percent of our clientele is African-American, and about 95% of our clients are from under served populations," Rodgers added."What we know is here in Cuyahoga County, African-American women die at 2.5 times the rate for preventable pregnancy-related complications compared to white women."
Lorenzi-Sutton is has been a temporary worker for his job for nearly a year, and because of this, she doesn't have healthcare provided by them."It is a way for us to be able to ensure that families are supported for longer periods of time and they're not having to worry about their basic needs being met," Rodgers said about the extension.
