Most women with a low income can get MA during pregnancy. If you are on MFIP, you get MA automatically. MA pays for all doctor visits, emergency care, medicine and delivery costs. If you can’t get MA, ask about other programs like Children’s Health Plan and Minnesota Care.
If you are under 18, living at home, and your parents’ income is over a certain amount, you may not be able to get MA. If your parents have medical insurance, check to see if you or your baby are covered under their policy.
If you are not a US citizen, you need to get more specific legal advice. In Hennepin County call the Youth Law Project at (612) 332-1441. If you live in another county, call your local legal aid office. Also, see our fact sheet Health Care for Noncitizens.
