I'm pregnant but I don't have insurance....?

Question

where can i get insurace that will cover me or how much do you think it will be without insurance if I just go to planned parenthood?

Answer 1

If you are pregnant its too late for insurance, they don't cover preexisting conditions. I would suggest you contact an anti abortion group in your area and see if they can offer help, or can direct you to the proper social service agency.
If you aren't planning on going to term contact planned parenthood and ask them what they can do.

Answer 2

Often you can get government assistance. In addition there are free clinics that will sometimes help.

Start by calling Planned Parenthood 1-800-230-PLAN. It is a free call and if they can't help they may be able to at least tell you who to call. Otherwise start going through the government directory. You can also call your local child welfare agency (CPS etc) and they should know. WIC is also a great place to start and a great program.

Edited to add:

Planned Parenthood is not pro-abortion. In most places they will refer you to a doctor if you want an abortion, I assume they can also refer you to an OB for prenatal care.

Where I live Planned Parenthood provides PAP tests, STD testing, birth control including inserting IUDs.

I really wonder where people keep getting misinformation about Planned Parenthood from? A few weeks back 2-3 people answering a question about abortions said that Planned Parenthood was a religious group that was anti-abortion. Honestly I have never found them to be anything other than truely neutral in all my dealings with them.

Every state offers insurance (medical assistance) for mothers-to-be, and even after as long as you qualify.

I would contact your local county and or government and see what the guide lines are. I've looked it up in Colorado before as well. Every state has its own rules though.

You can only make a certain amount of $ per month. It's also based on the family size, and as well as your job. If you work (full time) and your company offers insurance, then you would have to take it. UNLESS they don't cover 80% of the premium. Then you qualify for the state insurance. at least that's how it works in WI.
Every state varies.

Here's an example~
Dane county department of human services......

Try that once, and use the county you live in. Once you've found the site you need then look for the assistance you need. The state also offers child care, housing, and food.
They help you get back on your feet.

I wish you the best of luck~

Answer 4

Planned parenthood (in my area) no longer takes pregnant women for treatment. You can apply for medical assistance through the government and it's free or little cost to you and everything you need will be taken care of.

Answer 5

Apply for COBRA, Medicaid, or try Planned Parenthood.

Answer 6

Are you working?

You may be able to apply for Medicaid. Medicaid offer special programs just for pregnant women and their babies. Many big hospitals have a Medicaid department or social worker on staff to help patients apply, so try calling around.

Answer 7

Go down to department of jobs and family services and apply for assistance.

Answer 8

I don't know where your from but i'm from Fremont Ca, and they offer medi-cal and healthy families., both medi-cal and healthy families offer it to pregnant weman for as little as nothing. So just go down to the department of health services and see what you apply for they will tell you. good luck and congratulation's....

Answer 9

There should be one free for you from the government if you don't have any insurance. You see in our area (Hawaii), we have this HMSA Quest, they pay for everything. You should check with someone that got pregnant and never had insurance.

Answer 10

Go to your local social services department and apply for MEDICAID.
