Many women dealing with an unplanned pregnancy want to know if they qualify for Medicaid – especially if they do not have health insurance.


Proper coverage while expecting is essential regardless of your choice about your body. NJ Family Care covers prenatal care, labor and delivery, postpartum services for sixty days, and your child for one year after birth. Abortion services are also included.


You will need valid medical proof of pregnancy to apply for Pregnancy Medicaid.

An ultrasound will confirm a positive pregnancy test and can help you qualify depending on your earnings.


Family size determines eligibility

Family size determines Medicaid income eligibility, including the number of babies in your womb. This can only be determined through an ultrasound, not a urine pregnancy test.
