Pregnancy Care and Health Insurance
Are you pregnant? Do you have health insurance? PE could be for you!
What is Presumptive Eligibility (PE)?
Presumptive Eligibility (PE) is a way for pregnant women without health insurance (or with limited heath coverage) to start prenatal care with a health care provider. Specially trained staff at a pregnancy care office or clinic will ask for basic information about family and income, and for proof of your pregnancy*. That information will be used to fill out a form which will be sent to the local Department of Social Services (DSS). DSS will decide whether the pregnant women can get full Medicaid or limited pregnancy care benefits.** While the application is being processed, prenatal care costs will be covered.
* Your health care provider will give you a pregnancy test during your visit. Home pregnancy test results can not be used.
** DSS may need more information to complete the Medicaid application process and continue coverage.
