601.05.01 Pregnant Women

SC DHHS may provide Medicaid to pregnant women during a PE period following a determination by a qualified entity that the pregnant woman has satisfied the criteria set forth in SC MPPM 203.02.01.

Coverage of services provided to such women is limited to ambulatory prenatal care; therefore, eligibility workers should also consider a pregnant woman applicant’s eligibility for Assumptive Eligibility. For more information on Assumptive Eligibility, see MPPM Chapter 203.

A pregnant woman can only be authorized for one PE period per pregnancy.
