Health Coverage

Medicaid for Pregnant Women

Prenatal and postnatal coverage for expectant mothers with income up to 200% of the federal poverty level.

Information last reviewed July 2026

What it is

Expectant mothers qualify for Medicaid at a higher income limit (200% FPL) than other adults — covering prenatal visits, delivery, and postnatal care for mother and baby.

If you’re pregnant and uninsured (or your insurance has a high deductible), this coverage can run alongside an employer plan as secondary insurance in some cases.

How Gesher helps

Timing matters in pregnancy coverage — apply early so every prenatal visit is covered, and remember Medicaid can cover bills retroactively up to 3 months. We’ll also set up the baby’s Healthy Start coverage the moment they arrive.
