Pregnancy Testing

Appointments to assess for possible pregnancy are available for women who are at least 2 weeks past their expected date of menses.

If pregnancy is confirmed, presumptive eligibility for pregnancy Medicaid processing is accomplished during the appointment, you will be counseled about healthy choices for you and your baby, and you will be referred to a local obstetric provider for your pregnancy care.

What is Presumptive Eligibility Pregnancy Waiver (PEPW)?

• Presumptive eligibility allows a pregnant woman to receive temporary Medicaid coverage for prenatal care (including transportation services, emergency room services and prescriptions)
• Presumptive eligibility is limited to one eligibility span per pregnancy
• Income must be less than or equal to 185% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)
