Content: With Medicaid, you don’t have to wait until the annual open enrollment period to apply and enroll; you can enroll in coverage at any time of the year if you qualify. Additionally, there are facilities – such as Planned Parenthood – that sometimes offer prenatal care at lower-rates depending on your income. If you don’t have health insurance and aren’t planning on getting health insurance, you can look into applying for CHIP. The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is a way to get health insurance for families who have a difficult time affording health insurance for themselves or health insurance for babies or older children. While CHIP coverage varies state to state, CHIP provides coverage for the following services in all states: Check-ups
Immunizations
Doctor visits
Prescriptions
Dental and vision care (which are ordinarily covered through a parent’s health insurance)
Inpatient and outpatient care
Laboratory and X-ray services
Emergency services
Keep in mind that in some states CHIP may provide more covered benefits for your child. The eligibility guidelines for CHIP vary from state to state, but like Medicaid, you can enroll at any time. Where should I start shopping for health insurance for babies? It is a good idea to start looking into health insurance for your newborn before you give birth.
