- What it does
- The Transforming Maternal Heath (TMaH) Model is a voluntary, 10-year service delivery and payment model designed to improve maternal health care outcomes for people enrolled in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The TMaH Model will test whether targeted technical assistance, coupled with payment and delivery system reforms, can drive a whole-person care-delivery approach to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care while reducing Medicaid and CHIP program expenditures.
- Who benefits
- Pregnant or postpartum (up to 12 months) people who are Medicaid beneficiaries within the service areas. Pregnant or postpartum (up to 12 months) people who are CHIP beneficiaries within the service areas will be eligible in some states.
- Who applies
- State Requirements - An applicant to this NOFO must propose to implement the Model statewide or in a substate region specified by ZIP codes, in which the average number of annual births between 2015-2020 was no fewer than 1000.
- Authorized by
- Section 1115A of the Social Security Act (the Act) establishes CMMI to test innovative health care payment and service delivery models that have the potential to lower Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP spending while maintaining or improving the quality of beneficiaries’ care.
Committed by fiscal year

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
