Content: If eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, your coverage can begin at any time. If you currently have Marketplace coverage
If you want to keep your current Marketplace coverage, don’t report your pregnancy to the Marketplace. When filling out your application for Marketplace coverage, select the “Learn more” link when we ask if you’re pregnant to read tips to help you best answer this question. If you report your pregnancy, you may be found eligible for free or low-cost coverage through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). If you are found eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, your information will be sent to the state agency, and you will not be given the option to keep your Marketplace plan. If you keep your Marketplace coverage, be sure to update the application after you give birth to add the baby to the plan or enroll them in coverage through Medicaid or CHIP, if they qualify. If you may qualify for Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Medicaid and CHIP provide free or low-cost health coverage to millions of Americans, including some low-income people, families and children, and pregnant women. Eligibility for these programs depends on your household size, income, and citizenship or immigration status. Specific rules and benefits vary by state. You can apply for Medicaid or CHIP any time during the year, not just during the annual Open Enrollment Period.
