March 17, 2026

We are pleased to share that the CMMP and their partner, the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs (AMCHP), has released a new instructional guide to help state Title V and Medicaid leaders develop maternal and child health (MCH)-focused interagency agreements (IAAs)/memoranda of understanding (MOU). 

This interactive, step-by-step guide outlines key elements and promising practices for developing and updating IAAs/MOU to streamline services, reduce duplication, enhance accountability, and support coordinated, high-quality care. It covers essential requirements and shares state examples, highlighting how partnerships can expand access. See how it could support your state.
