The Key to Coverage
Health coverage is essential to accessing all the care you need for your pregnancy. Thankfully, pregnant women who are likely to be eligible for regular Medicaid health care are able to receive health benefits through Presumptive Eligibility for Pregnant Women (PE-PW), a Medicaid program.
Medicaid for Pregnant Women
Within this program, pregnant women are presumed eligible for Medicaid before their application has been processed. This ensures you don’t have to put off any of the healthcare you need for your pregnancy. This immediate coverage is available for a limited time, and covers prenatal appointments, prenatal lab tests and any prescription drugs you need for your pregnancy.
Eligibility includes:
- Being a resident of Arkansas
- Confirmed pregnancy
- No current Medicaid plan
- No PE-PW during this pregnancy
- Income eligibility
