Care Management for High-Risk Pregnancies (CMHRP)

The Care Management for High-Risk Pregnancies (CMHRP) program is the primary vehicle for delivering care management to pregnant women who may be at risk for adverse birth outcomes.

This program builds on the legacy model of care management for pregnant women administered in the local health departments since 1988. Through the years, the program name has changed, but the focus of care management services for pregnant recipients has remained the same.  

CMHRP will continue to be provided by Local Health Departments (LHDs). Medicaid will continue to support the partnership between LHD care managers and maternity care providers, delivering coordination of care and ensuring social drivers of health are addressed. 

A key feature of the program is the standardized Pregnancy Risk Screening tool used by obstetric provider to help identify Medicaid recipients at risk for an adverse birth outcomes and refer them to the CMHRP program. All pregnant Medicaid recipients will continue to receive a coordinated set of high-quality, clinical maternity services through the Pregnancy Management Program (Pregnancy Medical Home).
