Twenty percent of pregnant women enrolled in Medicaid use tobacco products. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires Medicaid to cover tobacco-dependence treatments for pregnant women beginning in 2010.
To summarize the impact of the ACA provisions on Medicaid coverage of tobacco-dependence treatments for pregnant women.
Medicaid programs were surveyed regarding their coverage for tobacco-dependence treatments after the ACA provisions went into effect.
From 2009 to 2010, coverage for tobacco-dependence treatments increased from 43 to 51 programs covering pharmacotherapy treatments and from 30 to 38 programs covering tobacco-cessation counseling. States added additional coverage for counseling in 2011 and 2012.
To maximize these benefits, Medicaid programs need to conduct outreach to inform Medicaid-enrolled pregnant smokers of this coverage.
20%参加医疗补助计划的孕妇使用烟草制品。平价医疗法案(ACA)要求医疗补助计划从 2010 年开始为孕妇提供烟草依赖治疗。
总结 ACA 规定对医疗补助计划为孕妇提供烟草依赖治疗的影响。
在 ACA 规定生效后,对医疗补助计划中有关烟草依赖治疗的覆盖情况进行了调查。
从 2009 年到 2010 年,覆盖烟草依赖治疗的项目从 43 个增加到 51 个,涵盖药物治疗,从 30 个增加到 38 个,涵盖戒烟咨询。各州在 2011 年和 2012 年又增加了咨询的额外覆盖。
为了最大限度地发挥这些好处,医疗补助计划需要开展宣传活动,让参加医疗补助计划的孕妇了解这一覆盖范围。
