Texas Medicaid reform cuts premature birth rates
Texas led a 2011 Medicaid payment reform to stop nonmedical early deliveries before 39 weeks. Within two years the unnecessary early delivery rate fell up to 14 percent, pregnancies lengthened by nearly a week, and infant weight increased by about half a pound on average. Latinos saw the largest drop in early delivery. Authorities credit payment changes plus other efforts, with researchers noting benefits to health outcomes and calls for broader adoption in other states.
