Medicaid member perspectives on innovation in prenatal care delivery: A call to action from pregnant people using unscheduled care.

Background: Low-income women using prenatal care have shared concerns as well as unique needs not met by traditional prenatal care. Our objective was to explore user ideas on addressing unmet needs driving unscheduled care utilization and use findings to inform interventions to improve perinatal outcomes.

Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of qualitative interviews among purposively sampled, Medicaid-insured pregnant women with varied degrees of unscheduled care utilization.
