Free or low-cost health insurance for pregnant women

You are eligible for the pregnancy medical program if:

• You are pregnant (regardless of your age), and
• You live in Washington State, and
• You meet income requirements.

The pregnancy medical program has no resource limits. Your income eligibility is determined by your family's income and the number of people in your family. Your unborn child counts as a family member.

Once you are found eligible for pregnancy medical benefits, you will remain eligible throughout your pregnancy regardless of changes of income or who lives in your home or until the pregnancy ends. After your pregnancy ends, you will receive 2-months post-partum care. Then you will receive 10-months of family planning coverage.
