Prenatal Medicaid in NC.

I'm on my dad's insurance right now. We have Cigna. The bills are becoming outrageous and I'll be the one paying them. Is there anyway I'd be eligible for Prenatal Medicaid? My mom draws a check for disability each month and I get a portion of it. Am I eligible?

Hey I live in NC too when I went to DSS I was told that if you bring proof of your pregnancy and due date that women with child are always excepted. The only part that ***** is they have a full 45 business day to get back to you it take for ever I still have not got my letter yet. I also applied for food stamps I was awarded in February and didn't get my card until May. Even though it may take time i would give it a try. Bring everything at ibce so you don't have to keep going be k and forth. They want a copy of your lease, a month worth of pay stubs, and the proof of pregnancy and due date from a doctor. I wish you luck. Last thing promised get there early they open at 8 and being there at that time will save you a 2-3 hour wait in a line! :)

My dad had insurance on me with his job and I didn't know cause we aren't that close but I signed up for prenatal Medicaid and was approved but the doctors office would always use my dads insurance first. I also live in NC.

I was told to go to DSS and apply so I guess it's worth a shot.

You can go to your health department and apply for medical assistance.. It's free and depending on what carrier you go with you get complete coverage. Hope this helps!

I think its based on income, living status, etc. I would get on the website and apply if I were you.
