Out here you have to sign up for medicaid before your baby is born and then they give you a piece of paper to fill out at the hospital after the baby is born. Then they send it into medicaid and they send you a card a few weeks (to a month) later. But as long as you have signed up for medicaid while you are pregnant (and get approved before the baby is born which can take up to 45 days) the baby will be automatically cover. Add Friend Ignore

@anabarrera,
Well my co-workers mom told me to apply for medicaid now so that everything is in place for once the baby is born & find a pediatrician before hand & that's who i'll go to after the baby. After I thought about it I figured the visits would be just for me idky i was thinking they'd be for the baby too. I'm so frustrated with the people who work at th DHS by me. : ( I really wish I didnt need to be bothered with them. B

@cking729,
I have medicaid for myself because i am pregnant, once you have your baby he or she is automatically covered by medicaid for one year and when you are in the hospital your baby should be assigned to a doctor who accepts medicaid..... U cannot apply for medicaid for your child until baby is born.... There is the medicaid number you can call and find out which doc accepts medicaid for the baby too

@cking729,
I know some states the Medicaid will be retroactive 30-90 days before the date applied. So basically once the baby is born apply for him/her ASAP. There should be a section that asks do you want the Medicaid to be retroactive? So check yes! ------As for a pediatrician pick one that accepts the Medicaid you will apply for. See if they will put you on a payment program so you only have to spend a few bucks at each visit until the Medicaid goes through.

You'll have medicaid until something in your life changes that makes you no longer qualify, like you get a job that puts your family income over the limit, or your husband gets a raise that puts the income over the limit. You'll just get a packet in the mail when it's time to renew and you'll have to fill it out and send it in along with proof of any changes (bank account balances, dividends, etc.) My daughter is a little over 2 and we're both still on medicaid. ...Show more

 If you qualify for SSI, you may also be able to get help from your state or county. For example, in most states, people who get SSI automatically qualify for Medicaid (see below). Medicaid
This joint federal and state program administered by your state can help with health care costs, even if you have health insurance. If you are enrolled in Medicaid and have private insurance, for instance, Medicaid may cover services that your private plan does not. Your eligibility for Medicaid will depend on family income, family size, and other factors (such as citizenship or immigration status). If you were receiving Medicaid when your baby was born, your baby will automatically be eligible for Medicaid, too. As the parent of a baby who's receiving Medicaid, you will be eligible for 60 days after the birth (or longer, if you continue to qualify). Visit the Medicaid website to find out whether you or your child qualify for Medicaid as well as other programs offered by your state. Another program your child may qualify for is the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). CHIP provides health coverage to children in families who can't afford private health insurance but who have incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid.

By law any insurance that you have must cover the baby for the first 30 days but you are required to contact the insurance office and bring necessary information like a copy of birth certificate or something that validate the birth of your baby. You should then apply for social security card right away and then send them a copy of the card or the letter that validates that you have applied with the number and that it will be mailed to you in 2 weeks. Stay on top of it because sometimes they give people a hard time about what they will accept and won't accept. Good luck! ...Show more

You'll have medicaid until something in your life changes that makes you no longer qualify, like you get a job that puts your family income over the limit, or your husband gets a raise that puts the income over the limit. You'll just get a packet in the mail when it's time to renew and you'll have to fill it out and send it in along with proof of any changes (bank account balances, dividends, etc.) My daughter is a little over 2 and we're both still on medicaid.

 If you were receiving Medicaid when your baby was born, your baby will automatically be eligible for Medicaid, too. As the parent of a baby who's receiving Medicaid, you will be eligible for 60 days after the birth (or longer, if you continue to qualify). Visit the Medicaid website to find out whether you or your child qualify for Medicaid as well as other programs offered by your state. Another program your child may qualify for is the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). CHIP provides health coverage to children in families who can't afford private health insurance but who have incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid. For more information about Medicaid and CHIP, visit InsureKidsNow.gov. WIC
WIC, the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children, is federally funded and run by the states. It provides food, healthcare referrals, nutrition education, and breastfeeding support to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women and to infants and children up to age 5. To qualify, you or your child needs to meet financial eligibility requirements and be deemed at nutritional risk. To find out more about how to apply, check out the WIC prescreening tool or contact your state agency.

Medicaid Newborn Eligibility Policy
Unborn Activation Process
In October 1999, the Department of Children and Families and the Agency for Health Care Administration began issuing Medicaid identification numbers and gold cards to pregnant women for their unborn children. This step was taken in an effort to streamline and expedite the administrative process of adding a Medicaid eligible newborn's coverage to the Florida Medicaid Management Information System (FMMIS) upon the baby's birth so that providers could verify eligibility, bill Medicaid, and receive reimbursement for services rendered as quickly as possible. Cards initially issued to unborn babies contain the mother's name with "Babyof" (e.g., BabyAofJane Smith) and providers are able to use the card with its card control number to obtain the baby's Medicaid ID number. The Medicaid number will not be active until after the baby is born, however. Once born, providers can activate the Medicaid coverage by following the instructions listed below: Using the card control number, look up the baby's eligibility record using the Web portal, MEVS, FaxBack, or AVRS (for further information on verifying eligibility, please see the Florida Medicaid Provider General Handbook, Chapter 3). If the message tells you that the baby is eligible, no further action is required. Be sure to write down the baby's Medicaid identification number for billing purposes. NOTE:

@mcgeelisha,
I think it may depend on your state. I live in nj and I have ins for me but baby is on Medicaid. I applied a month before my due date. on the application, it asks if you are pregnAnt. check that box, and then just fill in the information about yourself and then send in the application. once the baby is born, you need to provide the crib card from the hospital and that's all until you get the baby's ss card and what not. it took 2 weeks to get my Medicaid card in the mail. I suggest applying before the baby is born otherwise you will have to pay cash at your baby's first drs appt... which is within a week after the baby is born. and yes, find a pedi who accepts Medicaid.

PP doctor visits are only for you because you were pregnant not the baby. If the baby isn't covered under your private insurance then you can't take the baby to a pediatrician without having to pay cash. Post Partum visit includes: check up of your uterus, healing of the area, questions about depression and questions about birth control. b

Well my co-workers mom told me to apply for medicaid now so that everything is in place for once the baby is born & find a pediatrician before hand & that's who i'll go to after the baby. After I thought about it I figured the visits would be just for me idky i was thinking they'd be for the baby too. I'm so frustrated with the people who work at th DHS by me. : ( I really wish I didnt need to be bothered with them. B

I have medicaid for myself because i am pregnant, once you have your baby he or she is automatically covered by medicaid for one year and when you are in the hospital your baby should be assigned to a doctor who accepts medicaid..... U cannot apply for medicaid for your child until baby is born.... There is the medicaid number you can call and find out which doc accepts medicaid for the baby too

AHCA: Medicaid Services Medicaid Newborn Eligibility Policy
Medicaid Newborn Eligibility Policy
Unborn Activation Process
Provider Inquiry Newborn Spreadsheet
Managed Care Plans
 If the baby's ID is active but Medicaid eligibility is not on file for the dates of service or certain demographic information appears incorrect such as date of birth, the Unborn Activation process can NOT be used to make these corrections. Further updates/corrections must be coordinated with DCF. If the baby's number is inactive, continue following these steps to activate the newborn's Medicaid identification number. Verify the mother was eligible for full Medicaid on the baby's date of birth by using the Web Portal, MEVS, FaxBack, or AVRS. The Medicaid fiscal agent will not activate the baby's coverage if the mother is not eligible or her eligibility category is MU (Presumptively Eligible Pregnant Woman) or her eligibility category is FP (Family Planning Services Only). Providers and Medicaid managed care plans should submit a newborn activation request through the Newborn Activation feature in the Florida Medicaid Secure Web Portal and Florida Health Plan Portal. Additional instructions and a quick reference guide can be found on the Florida Medicaid Web Portal. Within two working days after after a completed submission through the portal, the Medicaid fiscal agent will update the newborn's name, gender, and birth date and activate the coverage. Once the newborn's name is updated on file, a new Medicaid gold card is issued with the updated name. If the mother is in a Medicaid managed care plan, the baby will be retroactively enrolled in the same managed care plan as the mother for the first three months of life unless the mother voluntarily enrolls the baby in a different managed care plan.

 So basically once the baby is born apply for him/her ASAP. There should be a section that asks do you want the Medicaid to be retroactive? So check yes! ------As for a pediatrician pick one that accepts the Medicaid you will apply for. See if they will put you on a payment program so you only have to spend a few bucks at each visit until the Medicaid goes through. If you have to pay in full just have the office run the Medicaid once effective and you should be reimbursed. Hth

They will be covered under your insurance, but you have to call and notify them of the birth so they can get their own cards. Plus, some insurances provide you with extra benefits like gift cards and things when you have children and take them to their first well visit/ wic appts, etc

I had to call medicaid and they gave me an ID number to use for 60 days after birth. In order for her to be covered after the 60 days, I have to add her to my case by speaking to my case worker in person & showing her birth certificate.

AHCA: Medicaid Services Medicaid Newborn Eligibility Policy
Medicaid Newborn Eligibility Policy
Unborn Activation Process
Provider Inquiry Newborn Spreadsheet
Managed Care Plans
 Once born, providers can activate the Medicaid coverage by following the instructions listed below: Using the card control number, look up the baby's eligibility record using the Web portal, MEVS, FaxBack, or AVRS (for further information on verifying eligibility, please see the Florida Medicaid Provider General Handbook, Chapter 3). If the message tells you that the baby is eligible, no further action is required. Be sure to write down the baby's Medicaid identification number for billing purposes. NOTE: If the baby's ID is active but Medicaid eligibility is not on file for the dates of service or certain demographic information appears incorrect such as date of birth, the Unborn Activation process can NOT be used to make these corrections. Further updates/corrections must be coordinated with DCF. If the baby's number is inactive, continue following these steps to activate the newborn's Medicaid identification number. Verify the mother was eligible for full Medicaid on the baby's date of birth by using the Web Portal, MEVS, FaxBack, or AVRS. The Medicaid fiscal agent will not activate the baby's coverage if the mother is not eligible or her eligibility category is MU (Presumptively Eligible Pregnant Woman) or her eligibility category is FP (Family Planning Services Only).

 Approved the use of clinic, doctor and hospital records to verify a child’s identity. Revised the language used to describe birth records to be consistent with the National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Standards (NAPHSIS). This entails replacing the words “issued” with “recorded” and “amended” with “delayed.” This language reflects CMS’ original intent of accepting birth records that were recorded with vital statistics within five years of birth as secondary evidence of citizenship and birth records that were recorded with vital statistics after five years of birth (a delayed birth record) as fourth level evidence of citizenship. Permitted states to recognize all newborn children of women who have applied for, have been determined eligible and who are receiving Medicaid on the date of the child’s birth as deemed newborns so long as the mother remains eligible and the child remains a member of the mother’s household regardless of the mother’s immigration status. Documentation of citizenship and identity would be required at the first period of redetermination (up to one year). This would include children whose births are covered by emergency Medicaid. Women may qualify for emergency Medicaid only if they submit a full application and are determined to meet all other Medicaid requirements. These modifications are in addition to the requirements established by the DRA, which include the following: Acceptable primary documentation for identification and citizenship:

it varies by state, most places i think is after your 6 week checkup, unless your income is VERY low. people need to answer the question or pass it up, youre worried about spending a few dollars for someone to pay to raise a baby while the government is out wasting the same money on stupid **** that matters to no one, go complain about those, or do something about health care, my husband and i pay over $300 a month for health care, its that or do without, most people cant afford it, so dont complain if they get a little help. ...Show more

By law any insurance that you have must cover the baby for the first 30 days but you are required to contact the insurance office and bring necessary information like a copy of birth certificate or something that validate the birth of your baby. You should then apply for social security card right away and then send them a copy of the card or the letter that validates that you have applied with the number and that it will be mailed to you in 2 weeks. Stay on top of it because sometimes they give people a hard time about what they will accept and won't accept. Good luck! ...Show more

Is Your Baby Eligible for Social Security or Medicaid?
About Team NICU 101
 While your low birth weight baby is in the hospital, SSI eligibility is not based on family income or resources, only birth weight. Once your low-birth-weight baby is discharged, family income will be considered to determine if the baby is still eligible for this first-year-of-life program. If your baby meets the low-birth-weight criteria and you would like to file for SSI benefits on your child’s behalf, please speak with your social worker to get an application. A Social Security representative is available in the NICU family waiting room two Wednesdays a month, at 1 p.m., to accept applications for the program. The sign-up sheet is available at the reception desk between 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m. on the designated Wednesdays. Please contact your NICU social worker or call Social Security at (800) 772-1213 if you have additional questions. Please note: Application for Medicaid is a separate process; please see your social worker for further instructions. In addition, if your baby has been in the hospital longer than 30 days, he/she becomes eligible for Medicaid as a secondary insurance.

Unborn Activation Process
Provider Inquiry Newborn Spreadsheet
Managed Care Plans
 Providers and Medicaid managed care plans should submit a newborn activation request through the Newborn Activation feature in the Florida Medicaid Secure Web Portal and Florida Health Plan Portal. Additional instructions and a quick reference guide can be found on the Florida Medicaid Web Portal. Within two working days after after a completed submission through the portal, the Medicaid fiscal agent will update the newborn's name, gender, and birth date and activate the coverage. Once the newborn's name is updated on file, a new Medicaid gold card is issued with the updated name. If the mother is in a Medicaid managed care plan, the baby will be retroactively enrolled in the same managed care plan as the mother for the first three months of life unless the mother voluntarily enrolls the baby in a different managed care plan. If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact Recipient and Provider Assistance. Provider Inquiry Newborn Spreadsheet
If you know the mother is pregnant, Medicaid eligible, and her unborn child does not have a number, you may have the baby added by emailing a password protected Master Unborn Provider Spreadsheet [19KB MS Excel] to the statewide DCF email address identified on the spreadsheet. This spreadsheet can also be used to contact DCF to request assistance regarding missing eligibility for newborns or issues concerning incorrect demographics such as discrepancies in dates of birth. Please review the Provider Unborn Update Spreadsheet Completion Guide [35KB PDF] for further instructions on completing and submitting inquiries to DCF. Managed Care Plans

 Visit HealthCare.gov. Note that if you have one or more children enrolled in CHIP, you might qualify for Medicaid if you meet income requirements or other eligibility criteria. Medicaid eligibility for pregnant women and infants
If you are pregnant and have a low income or no income, you may want to apply for Medicaid as soon as possible. Medicaid covers prenatal health care throughout the pregnancy, labor, and delivery, and for an additional 60 days postpartum. Your child automatically qualifies if she or he is born while you’re on Medicaid. If you are eligible for Medicaid based on pregnancy, your benefits continue until the end of the month in which the 60th day following the birth falls. This is regardless of changes in income that might otherwise affect eligibility status. Your Medicaid benefits may continue longer, if you still qualify for the program. Medicaid eligibility for disabled adults
If you qualify for Medicaid because of a disability, the government will cover a wide range of health-care services and, in some cases, long-term services and supports (such as psychiatric care), depending on your situation. This category includes working individuals or those able to work.

Visit HealthCare.gov. Note that if you have one or more children enrolled in CHIP, you might qualify for Medicaid if you meet income requirements or other eligibility criteria. Medicaid eligibility for pregnant women and infants
If you are pregnant and have a low income or no income, you may want to apply for Medicaid as soon as possible. Medicaid covers prenatal health care throughout the pregnancy, labor, and delivery, and for an additional 60 days postpartum. Your child automatically qualifies if she or he is born while you’re on Medicaid. If you are eligible for Medicaid based on pregnancy, your benefits continue until the end of the month in which the 60th day following the birth falls. This is regardless of changes in income that might otherwise affect eligibility status. Your Medicaid benefits may continue longer, if you still qualify for the program.

 If you don't qualify for regular medicaid you may still qualify for pregnancy medicaid. But the pregnancy medicaid will only cover you until your 6 week postpartum checkup and the baby until he/she is one year old. So you will get your pregnancy related expenses paid and the first year of well baby checks and any sickness for the baby, but your husband and step daughter won't be covered at all. After the baby is born you can apply again as a 4 person household. ...Show more

 Your plan will likely only cover preventive services in full and at no cost to you if you receive your care from in-network providers. Review the plan’s full summary of benefits and look it over closely. Pay close attention to any specific services you want or need to make sure they are covered by your health plan. Once your baby is born, you qualify for a special enrollment period through the Marketplace during which you can add your baby onto your policy. What happens after my baby is born? You need to get in touch with your employer, insurance company, or state Marketplace to add a child to your health plan shortly after you give birth. Many employers require you to add your baby to your policy within 30 days. Having a baby qualifies you for a special open enrollment period in your state’s marketplace and allows you 60 days to choose a plan for your baby or make changes to your existing plan. Depending on your income, your child may qualify for Medicaid or CHIP even if you have a policy through your employer or state Marketplace. * Short-term health plans, those providing less than 12 months of coverage, are not required to offer you insurance and do not have to include maternity care in their benefits.

Until the baby is born you are a 3 person household. If you are pregnant and don't have insurance there are different income guidelines. It is much easier to get on medicaid when you are pregnant as they want all babies to have prenatal care. If you don't qualify for regular medicaid you may still qualify for pregnancy medicaid.

I'm in the same boat. I will be covered under my parent until I am 26. I am 24 now and will have my baby in mid October. We originally thought the baby would be covered under my dad as well since I am considered his dependent but that is not the case. According to my obgyn there is a case worker on staff who speaks to the mothers following delivery and you can apply then. Maybe it's just in CA but both my mother (who retired from the county) and my dr said you cannot apply until after the baby is born. As far as medical visits for the baby my mom says if approved by Medicare will cover any previous appointment as well.

This entails replacing the words “issued” with “recorded” and “amended” with “delayed.” This language reflects CMS’ original intent of accepting birth records that were recorded with vital statistics within five years of birth as secondary evidence of citizenship and birth records that were recorded with vital statistics after five years of birth (a delayed birth record) as fourth level evidence of citizenship. Permitted states to recognize all newborn children of women who have applied for, have been determined eligible and who are receiving Medicaid on the date of the child’s birth as deemed newborns so long as the mother remains eligible and the child remains a member of the mother’s household regardless of the mother’s immigration status.

Deemed Newborns
District of Columbia Medicaid automatically covers infants born to pregnant women who were receiving Medicaid in DC on the date of delivery. This eligibility group is called “deemed newborns.” Medicaid eligibility continues for deemed newborns until the child’s first birthday, and citizenship documentation is not required. Deemed Newborns are automatically eligible for Medicaid for twelve (12) months unless the child is no longer a DC resident. Medicaid eligibility for a deemed newborn must be renewed when the child reaches the age of one (1). The infant continues to be eligible as long as they meet the eligibility requirements for the children category. However, children who are determined eligible for Medicaid as deemed newborns are considered to have provided satisfactory documentation of citizenship and identity (by virtue of being born in the United States) and will not be required to further document citizenship or identity at any future Medicaid renewal. Who is Eligible? Deemed Newborns are eligible for Medicaid in the District, if: They are born to a woman determined eligible for Medicaid benefits on the date the child is born. (

 I am 24 now and will have my baby in mid October. We originally thought the baby would be covered under my dad as well since I am considered his dependent but that is not the case. According to my obgyn there is a case worker on staff who speaks to the mothers following delivery and you can apply then. Maybe it's just in CA but both my mother (who retired from the county) and my dr said you cannot apply until after the baby is born. As far as medical visits for the baby my mom says if approved by Medicare will cover any previous appointment as well. Hope that helps. I know it's a little confusing and stressful. 1

 The special enrollment period extends for 60 days after your child’s birth. Once enrolled, the effective date is retroactive to your child’s birthdate. What if I can’t afford health insurance? You have options before giving birth if you are having a difficult time affording health insurance. Even if you don’t think you qualify based on income for programs like Medicaid, you should still apply because you may be more likely to receive coverage if you are pregnant. With Medicaid, you don’t have to wait until the annual open enrollment period to apply and enroll; you can enroll in coverage at any time of the year if you qualify. Additionally, there are facilities – such as Planned Parenthood – that sometimes offer prenatal care at lower-rates depending on your income. If you don’t have health insurance and aren’t planning on getting health insurance, you can look into applying for CHIP. The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is a way to get health insurance for families who have a difficult time affording health insurance for themselves or health insurance for babies or older children.

 Insurance coverage: Medicaid is the nation’s single largest payor of perinatal care and is especially important in rural areas. In 2017, Medicaid paid for 43% of all births in the United States (1.7 of the 3.9 million births) and an estimated 50-60% of births in rural areas.1,2 However, many women covered by Medicaid lose their coverage 60 days postpartum. This loss of health coverage increases the likelihood that these women will receive inadequate or no health services, increases their risk of morbidity and

 In a situation such as this, the family members who qualify must have their own separate cards, and of course, the individuals who do not qualify will not have Medicaid cards. Again, this is done to enhance the clarity and organization of the coverage provided. For pregnant women who are Medicaid recipients and who want to obtain Medicaid coverage and Medicaid coverage for their baby, there is a specific process that they will need to go through in order to get this for their child. The woman is able to request coverage for the unborn child by either contacting her local department of social services or by going online to the NY Marketplace (the Marketplace can also be contacted on the phone at (888) 692-6166). She will need to inform these authorities that she is pregnant and tell them her expected due date. When the Medicaid office receives the necessary information, they will issue an unborn/infant card for the child, which can be used after the baby is born for doctor’s visits and any other medical costs during the interim period before the baby’s permanent Medicaid card is issued. When do you have to present your card? You will need to present your Medicaid Benefit Identification Card (the Common Benefit Identification Card or CBIC) after any health-related appointment or when you go to pick up a prescription medication. There are certain restrictions around what is covered by Medicaid and what is not, however, because many healthcare costs are covered by Medicaid, recipients will be asked to present their card at most healthcare institutions. Although sometimes coverage may not be provided, Medicaid cards should be presented any time you use any medical service in New York.

Medicaid pays for prenatal vitamins in all fifty states because the extra folic acid and other nutrients promote healthy fetal development. However, at least four require a prescription from a licensed physician. Arkansas
Connecticut
Colorado
New York
Insulin
Medicaid is more likely to cover prescription diabetes medications (Metformin, Glucophage, Glumetza, or Insulin) because pregnancy can affect how your cells use sugar. Increases in hormone levels can lead to gestational diabetes that can affect your baby’s health and lead to chronic disease after birth for the mother
Prescription drugs for diabetes are typically medically necessary. Tests & Scans
Our three Medicaid plans (Limited, Full-Scope, and CHIP) are likely to pay for medically necessary prenatal tests and scans designed to detect abnormalities that might benefit from early intervention. Ultrasounds
The Medicaid coverage guidelines for prenatal ultrasounds grow stricter for each new measurement dimension (depth and movement) added to the scan because of the least expensive alternative rule. 2D
Medicaid pays for at least one 2D pregnancy ultrasound across the country, although each state may set a different maximum. Any plan is more likely to pay for multiple 2D sonograms after detecting a fetal abnormality or a health risk to the mother. 3D
Medicaid pays for 3D ultrasounds when adding the depth dimension is medically necessary: detailed anatomic examination after identifying specific fetal abnormalities.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi legislators are trying to improve the health of new mothers and their babies by allowing women who are enrolled in Medicaid to keep that coverage for up to a year after giving birth — an increase from the current limit of 60 days. Lawmakers are considering a slew of changes to the state's Medicaid program that would take effect in July. Medicaid is a health insurance program for the needy, with costs paid by the state and federal governments. Mississippi legislators have to reauthorize the state's Medicaid program every few years, and they usually consider some changes while they are keeping it alive. A bill in the Senate would expand postpartum coverage for pregnant women, require Medicaid to reimburse for telehealth services provided by federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics and order the managed care organizations that run Medicaid to implement programs to improve the health of members diagnosed with diabetes, among many other changes. Senate Bill 2799 would increase Mississippi's Medicaid spending by about $19 million, said Senate Medicaid Committee Chairman Kevin Blackwell, a Republican from Southaven. The Mississippi House is also working on its own version of the bill, House Bill 1008.

 Following the 60 days postpartum period, mothers with incomes up to 138% FPL in the states that have expanded Medicaid under the ACA ( 38 states and DC) have a continued pathway to coverage. Those with incomes above 138% FPL may qualify for subsidized coverage through the ACA Marketplace. However, in the 12 states that have not adopted the ACA’s Medicaid expansion, postpartum women could qualify for Medicaid as parents to stay on the program, but Medicaid income eligibility levels for parents are much lower than for pregnant people in all of the states ( Figure 1 ). As a result, many women in non-expansion states become uninsured after pregnancy-related coverage ends 60 days postpartum because, even though they are poor, their income is still too high to qualify for Medicaid as parents and too low to qualify for Marketplace subsidies. For example, in Texas, a married mother with a newborn loses Medicaid coverage two months after giving birth if she and her partner have an annual income above $3,733 (17% FPL). Figure 1: Medicaid Eligibility Is Much More Restrictive for Parents than Pregnant Women, Particularly in States that Have Not Expanded Medicaid
Research shows that Medicaid coverage is higher and uninsured rates are lower among women before and after pregnancy in expansion states compared to non-expansion states ( Figure 2 ). As shown in Figure 2, coverage patterns are similar during pregnancy between expansion and non-expansion states. After pregnancy, however, Medicaid coverage declines and the uninsured rate climbs, with the effect more pronounced in non-expansion states. 3
