SD-16-0006

South Dakota's SPAs SD-16-0002 and SD-16-0006 allows the state to expand eligibility to include unborn children whose pregnant mothers are not otherwise eligible for Medicaid and whose family incomes are up to, and including 133 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL). Coverage will include pregnancy-related services, such as prenatal care for children from conception to birth. SPA SD-16-0007 specifies that this population will be excluded from the state's 90-day waiting period.
