    Postpartum Medicaid extension to reach 16,000 Wisconsin moms, according to DHS

    Wisconsin will extend Medicaid coverage for mothers to one year postpartum starting July 1, benefiting an estimated 16,000 mothers through 2027. The policy, signed into law in March, faced opposition from Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos but was supported by Governor Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, which highlights its potential to reduce maternal deaths and improve health outcomes.
