So you need to see an OB/GYN but don’t have the cash to afford it without insurance, well who does? Don’t worry the government is here to help but first you need proof of pregnancy to apply for Medicaid. You can get proof of pregnancy either from your OB/GYN, local reproductive health clinic (page 4), or a faith-based pregnancy resource center (page 3). Once you get proof of pregnancy then visit or call your local Medicaid office.
