APTA and APTA Pelvic Health are advocating to improve access to vital postpartum care, including pelvic floor physical therapy. This persistence is paying off in the 119th Congress: These efforts have paved the way for the return of a bipartisan bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, known as the Optimizing Postpartum Outcomes Act (H.R.4074). This legislation would boost the role of postpartum health — including the role of pelvic health physical therapy — for Medicaid beneficiaries. The bill is co-sponsored by Reps. Don Bacon, R-Neb., and Lori Trahan, D-Mass.
