Abstract Background Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) affect one in five birthing individuals and represent a leading cause of maternal mortality. While these disorders are associated with a variety of poor outcomes and generate significant societal burden, underdiagnosis and undertreatment remain significant barriers to improved outcomes. We aimed to quantify whether the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (ACA) improved PMAD diagnosis and treatment rates among Michigan Medicaid enrollees. Methods We applied an interrupted time series framework to administrative Michigan Medicaid claims data to determine if PMAD monthly diagnosis or treatment rates changed after ACA implementation for births 2012 through 2018. We evaluated three treatment types, including psychotherapy, prescription medication, and either psychotherapy or prescription medication. Participants included the 170,690 Medicaid enrollees who had at least one live birth between 2012 and 2018, with continuous enrollment from 9 months before birth through 3 months postpartum. Results ACA implementation was associated with a statistically significant 0.76% point increase in PMAD diagnosis rates (95% CI: 0.01 to 1.52). However, there were no statistically significant changes in treatment rates among enrollees with a PMAD diagnosis. Conclusion The ACA may have improved PMAD detection and documentation in clinical settings. While a higher rate of PMAD cases were identified after ACA Implementation, Post-ACA cases were treated at similar rates as Pre-ACA cases. |
