Connecticut Clinic Aligns Maternal Health Program with HUSKY Maternity Bundle Initiative

Enrich Health in Hamden, Connecticut has opened using a model that combines group prenatal visits, doula support and wellness services to improve maternal outcomes, reports the CT Mirror. This effort aligns with the state’s HUSKY maternity bundle initiative, which shifts payment for pregnancy and postpartum-care to a value-based model designed to promote better outcomes. The changes may support affordability by targeting preventive care and coordinating supports that reduce complications and associated costs. At the same time, the article notes that the model is still early and depends on implementation and reimbursement adequacy to sustain affordability gains.
