Abstract

This study evaluates whether a 2012 change in the South Carolina Medicaid policy to reimburse hospitals for provision of immediate postpartum long-acting reversible contraception (IPP-LARC) separately from global payment for all services in a delivery hospitalization was associated with changes in IPP-LARC use and short-interval births between 2010 and 2017.
