Health Care for Pregnant Women
Healthy Kids for Pregnant Women
Medicaid is available to eligible women while pregnant, including the month her pregnancy ends and during the two calendar months following the month her pregnancy ends, regardless of the reason (for example: live birth, miscarriage). There is an income limit for this program. Check eligibility and apply online using MI Bridges.
Group 2 Pregnant Women
A woman with income that exceeds the limit for Healthy Kids for Pregnant Women may be eligible for Medicaid under the Group 2 Pregnant Women program. If income is over the limit, persons may incur medical expenses that equal or exceed the excess income and still qualify for this program. Check eligibility and apply online using MI Bridges.
Maternity Outpatient Medical Services (MOMS)
MOMS provides immediate outpatient prenatal health coverage for pregnant women while a Medicaid application is pending. Other women who may be eligible for MOMS include:
- Teens who, because of confidentiality concerns, choose not to apply for Medicaid, and
- Non-citizens who are eligible for emergency services only.
The woman must use Medicaid benefits if and when they become available. Prenatal health care services will be covered by MOMS and/or Medicaid for the entire pregnancy and for two months after the pregnancy ends. There is an income limit for all persons except pregnant teens. Apply online using the Department of Community Health Application Service.
