Who is covered?
Michigan residents who are pregnant or
were recently pregnant, who are eligible, applying or actively pursuing
Medicaid and meet certain criteria. You must be at or below 185% of the
Federal Poverty Level ($1,986 a month for 2005, for a single, pregnant
woman). This program targets persons that have applied for Medicaid and
are non-resident aliens (ESO beneficiaries), those denied for Medicaid or
have Medicaid pending, and those with extenuating or unusual
circumstances.
What is covered?
How
does it work?
Before the client is
granted M.O.M.S. services, they must apply for Medicaid/MIHealth. The
client is then given a guarantee of payment letter to be used for the
first 45 days until their Medicaid/MIHealth card comes in. This letter
covers the client’s pregnancy-related services immediately. Services are
provided by your physician, certified nurse mid-wife, nurse practitioner,
and other agencies or health care professionals that participate in the
program.
How
do you apply?
You can apply for
M.O.M.S. services at any of the three Mid-Michigan District Health
Department locations (Ithaca, St. Johns and Stanton), in FIA offices or at
other authorized community agencies.
