Abstract

The United States faces a maternal mortality crisis with stark and unacceptable disparities. Postpartum care (PPC) is crucial for identifying and managing complications after childbirth. However, access to PPC is inconsistent, especially for marginalized individuals such as Black birthing people and Medicaid beneficiaries. We examined the effect of the intersection of race and insurance type on the patients’ receipt of postpartum care (PPC) in a large referral hospital in the Southeast US.
