How to Qualify for Baby Your Baby

To sign up for Baby Your Baby financial help, you must first have your pregnancy confirmed with a test by a doctor or clinic. Most county health departments can provide low-cost pregnancy testing. If you live on the Wasatch Front, there are some places where you can get a free urine test. Call the Hotline for more information.

To qualify for Prenatal Medicaid the Baby Your Baby representative will look at your gross monthly income (before taxes) for the current month and the number of people in your family including your unborn baby.

If your income is within the financial guidelines and you meet other basic program guidelines, the representative can issue you a temporary Medicaid card. This card covers outpatient pregnancy related services such as your doctor's appointments and prescriptions. It does not cover labor and delivery. You must apply for Medicaid as soon as possible. Your Pink card is only temporary! Only one Baby Your Baby temporary card can be issued per pregnancy, so it is important that you turn in a Medicaid application as soon as possible.

Once your Medicaid application is processed, your Medicaid card will cover the rest of your pregnancy along with the hospital stay and delivery charges.

If you think that you may qualify for Baby Your Baby Financial assistance, and you live in Salt Lake, Davis or Utah County, you may apply for the program online.
