my best friend is 6 months pregnant and she is in chip prenatal program but the program don't pay for delivery just for the check ups so Is there any way she can qualified for medicaid to pay for the hospital ?
There is a pregancy medicade. She needs to contact the medicade office in her county and ask where can she go and apply for it, also ask them to tell her what she needs. She can go and apply in person and they will let her know if she is eligable or not and if not what is avaible to her. Good Luck
If she can't get covered on Medicaid or Chip and if your friend
lives in Tarrant County she can apply for JPS Insurance.
You can go to www.jpshealthnet.org for more information.
My husband work insurance is so high it would take his whole paycheck for insurance and we couldn't pay for our house,
so I checked other options. I have been on JPS for a year and
get care I need.
I believe you have to go to the JPS Hospital in Ft Worth
to have the baby, but they have a JPS Womens Center in Arlington
which is where I go for appts. There are always lots of Preg women there.
You can call for an appt it took me about 3 weeks but I got a temp card the day I went.
Hopefully this will help, I know how expensive having a baby is
my 1st was about 60,000 2003 in Kansas and my 2cd was about 15,000 2005 at Arlington memorial.
Good luck !
