What is the Pregnancy-Related Services (PRS) Program?
PRS is a package of services available to all pregnant women who receive Medicaid. The services promote a healthy pregnancy with positive birth outcomes. These services are provided in addition to regular prenatal care.
What are the benefits?
Quality prenatal care will:
-
Begin from date of identification of pregnancy through 60 days after birth or miscarriage
-
Increase the mother’s well-being during pregnancy

Help prevent complications and minimize discomfort

Help identify danger signals for early labor or miscarriage

Increase the likelihood of having a healthy baby

What if I am high risk?
The PRS program will pay for home visits and monitoring devices if your doctor determines you have a high-risk pregnancy and home visits are medically necessary.
Do I qualify?
