If you are getting MA or CHIP-funded MA based on pregnancy, you are automatically covered for 12-months after the pregnancy ends. It is automatic, you don’t have to do anything.
If you were getting MA or CHIP-funded MA based on pregnancy between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022, you can get coverage for the extra months covered under the new law.
The Department of Human Services (DHS) sent out notices about the new law to anyone getting MA under the pregnant person basis. There should also be a form with the notice that you need to return to your county agency if you want coverage for any remaining months.
If you didn’t get a notice or have questions, contact your local legal services. You can find services in your area at www.lawhelpmn.org/providers-and-clinics.
