005.01 ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.

A pregnant woman who is not otherwise eligible for Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) may have her unborn child’s eligibility reviewed under the 599 Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) program. Eligibility for Medicaid must first be determined before 599 Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) eligibility can be reviewed. Eligibility is determined for unborn children from conception through birth, if the household income is equal to or less than 197% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).
