Care Management for High-Risk Pregnancies (CMHRP) is a program available to pregnant women who qualify for Medicaid and may benefit from additional support around medical or other identified conditions that could impact women during pregnancy. Care managers and prenatal care providers work together with the expectant mother to help women achieve a healthy pregnancy.
Pregnant women eligible for Medicaid that meet certain conditions may qualify for services. Examples of conditions include having previously had a preterm baby, a chronic illness such as diabetes, or other concerns, such as wanting help to quit smoking.
