Maternity Advisory Committee
VISION: A Maternity Advisory Council that can leverage lived experiences of maternity care to inform existing and emerging policy and that is representative of all Coloradans that we serve.
The Committee provides input on existing and future Medicaid policies, shares their stories, and points out challenges faced during pregnancy and postpartum experiences.
The Maternity Advisory Committee is a group of members who have lived experience of being covered by Medicaid while pregnant, at labor and delivery, and/or postpartum. The MAC represents a diversity of different races/ethnicities, ages, number of pregnancies, locations (for example, people from rural Colorado), and pregnancy experiences.
The Maternity Advisory Committee meets online on the last Tuesday of each month. Members are paid to attend meetings and can live anywhere in Colorado.
To qualify for the Committee, a person should have had Medicaid coverage at some point during their pregnancy experience (including Health First Colorado, Child Health Plan Plus, or emergency Medicaid coverage). A pregnancy experience can include: live births, stillbirths or newborn losses, miscarriages (including ectopic pregnancies), and abortions or terminations.
We are also proud to introduce our Spanish speaking Maternity Advisory Committee, El Comité Colaborativo de Maternidad.
Como el comité en inglés, tiene entre 15-20 miembros. Nuestro objetivo es formar un grupo de perspectivas diversas de distintas razas/etnias, edades, cantidad de embarazos, ubicaciones (por ejemplo, personas de zonas rurales de Colorado) y experiencias durante el embarazo. Los miembros brindan sus opiniones sobre las políticas existentes y futuras de Medicaid, comparten sus historias y señalan los retos que se enfrentaron durante las experiencias de embarazo y postparto.
