Pregnant Women
The Department of Social Services provides medical assistance to pregnant women who meet income and resource limits and general eligibility guidelines. Pregnant women may qualify for limited coverage or full coverage.
- Limited Medical Coverage for Pregnant Women provides limited medical coverage to pregnant women meeting the income and resource limits and general eligibility requirements. The income and resource limits are more liberal than the Full Medical Coverage for Pregnant Women program. Medical coverage is limited coverage directly related to their pregnancy and delivery. Coverage also includes 60 days postpartum care and family planning services.
- Full Medical Coverage for Pregnant Women provides full medical coverage to pregnant women meeting the income and resource limits and general eligibility requirements. The income and resource limits are more restrictive than the Limited Medical Coverage for Pregnant Women Program. Postpartum and family planning services are available during the two months following the end of the pregnancy. View covered services for Full Medical Coverage for Pregnant Women.
A child born to a woman eligible for or receiving Full or Limited Medical Coverage for Pregnant Women in the month of delivery is automatically eligible for Automatic Newborn Coverage without application. View more information on Automatic Newborn Coverage.
