Centering Healthcare Institute (CHI) announced that its evidence-based CenteringPregnancy® model of group prenatal care is now covered under New Jersey’s expanded Medicaid program as a result of recent legislation. All providers including Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Community Health Centers (CHCs) offering Centering are now able to bill for group prenatal care services under this new law, provided they are accredited by CHI or are licensed sites working towards accreditation.
The new law is aimed at improving maternal health and birth outcomes in the state by increasing access to quality group prenatal care for vulnerable populations. The legislation also points to a similar model in South Carolina as the goal for implementation and paves the way to take advantage of enhanced reimbursement payment options in providing value-based maternity care.
