OBJECTIVES: We aimed to estimate the association between Medicaid unbundling of payment for long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) from the global delivery fee and immediate postpartum (IPP) LARC provision, in a state outside a select group of early-adopters. We also examine the potential moderating roles of hospital academic affiliation and Catholic status on the association between unbundling and IPP LARC provision. METHODS: We used a pre-post design to examine the association between unbundling and IPP LARC provision. We observed Medicaid-covered childbirth deliveries in Wisconsin hospitals between January 2016 and December 2017 (n = 45,200) in the State Inpatient Database from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. We conducted multivariate regressions using generalized linear mixed models. RESULTS: From 2016 to 2017, IPP LARC provision increased from 0.28% to 0.44% of deliveries (p = .003). In our adjusted model, IPP LARC provision was 1.55 times more likely in the post-period versus the pre-period (95% confidence interval, 1.12-2.13). Both before and after unbundling, IPP LARC provision was significantly more common in academic versus nonacademic settings and was exceedingly rare in Catholic institutions. CONCLUSIONS: In contrast with many early adopting states, in this later adopting state, Wisconsin Medicaid's unbundling of LARC from the global fee did not meaningfully change the rates of IPP LARC provision. These results indicate that delivery hospital characteristics are strong correlates of access to IPP LARC and suggest the need for interventions-perhaps outside of the inpatient setting-to ensure that patients can access desired contraceptive methods promptly postpartum.
