Abstract in brief

The study analyzed insurance coverage among women in different racial and ethnic groups during preconception, delivery, and postpartum periods, finding that minority women, especially Indigenous, Hispanic, and Black non-Hispanic women, have higher rates of uninsured status compared to White non-Hispanic women.
Continuity of insurance was less common among minority women, with significant disparities in maintaining coverage across the perinatal period, and lower-income Hispanic and Indigenous women being particularly vulnerable to uninsurance.
These insurance gaps and disruptions can negatively impact maternal health outcomes and highlight ongoing racial and ethnic disparities in access to consistent healthcare during critical perinatal times.]
