Medi-Cal沒有身分孕婦
What if I am pregnant? Should I get health care right away?
Absolutely! You should see a doctor or nurse early and often while you are
pregnant. That helps keep your baby healthy.
If you are pregnant, you can apply right away for the Presumptive Eligibility
(PE) Medi-Cal program. This gives you temporary Medi-Cal right away. You do
not have to wait for the welfare office to approve your regular Medi-Cal
application.
You apply with any doctor or nurse who has signed up with PE Medi-Cal. Ask
your doctor or nurse if they are a “PE provider.” They can give you PE
Medi-Cal right when you apply.
However, to keep your PE Medi-Cal, you must also file a regular application
with the County right away. You need to file a regular Medi-Cal application
either the month you first apply for PE or the very next month. For example,
suppose you apply for PE on April 15. You have to file a regular Medi-Cal
application by the end of May. If you do not, you lose your PE Medi-Cal.
You get PE Medi-Cal if:
v You are pregnant.
v You plan to stay in California. You do not have to prove this. You just say
on the form that you are a state resident because you plan to stay here.
v Your family income is below 200% of poverty. If you are pregnant and living
alone, that is $1,990 a month. You do not need to prove your income when you
apply for PE Medi-Cal. All you need is to say on the form how much money you
and your family make each month.
v Your immigration status does not matter but you must live in California and
plan to stay.
