Indiana Medicaid has been awarded a grant of more than five million dollars to address maternal opioid use.
The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration today announced it is receiving a $5.2 million grant to help coordinate clinical care and other services that are critical for maternal and child health.
It’s part of the Maternal Opioid Misuse Indiana initiative, a joint effort of the FSSA and U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The FSSA says opioid use disorder in pregnancy is a challenge for women with substance abuse issues, and navigating health care should not be an additional burden.
