400.15.01 PREGNANT WOMAN IN COE-075
A pregnant woman with no children should not be placed in COE-075 if it is determined that she would be eligible in COE-075 if the child were born. New applicants who are pregnant will be considered for COE-88. If the pregnant woman is married or unmarried but living with the unborn child’s other parent, the spouse’s/parent’s needs and income are included in the budgetary process. The spouse or second parent cannot be eligible for Medicaid in COE-075 until after the child is born and a full case review is completed. A woman eligible in COE-075 does not transition to COE-088 if pregnancy is reported. Since pregnancy is covered under COE-075, there is no need to transition a pregnant COE-075 eligible woman to COE-088. If pregnancy information is entered in the system for a pregnant woman in COE-075, she will remain in COE-75 for the duration of her pregnancy and post-partum period.
