Insurance/Assistance

Is there ANYthing that is offered in the state of Kentucky to help an uninsured pregnant woman????

 My husband and I were married this past May and had planned to get our own insurance once all of the marriage 'fun' was finished.  Well, we found out that I was pregnant the day after returning from our honeymoon, and since then it has been a nightmare trying to make sure my little bundle of joy will be taken care of.

Medicaid has been unsuccessful.  Pregnancy is considered 'pre-existing' to every insurance company.  We did not qualify for the hospital assistance.

It seems that every state around us offers something for a pregnant woman who is un/under insured and it is becoming so frustrating!

 Any insight would be so greatly appreciated.

    I had uninsured maternity coverage through Trihealth. They have an OB contract which is one set price for prenatal visits, birth, and postpartum visit. The price is $2,400 unless you have a c/s and its an additional $500. I would check with the Kentucky hospitals to see if they have a comparable deal or see if you can come to Ohio. I delivered at Good Sam in Clifton with my first and will be going to Bethesda North in Montgomery with my second. GL.

    Unfortunately, to get the benefits of the $2500 cover (only offered in Ohio) you must be an Ohio resident.  I am just in Northern Kentucky so I am going to check out if they will let me slide, but the hospitals around here do not offer anything like that.

    Thank you!

    Are you sure that you need to be an Ohio resident? I am almost positive that a friend of mine who also lives in Nky was able to do that program through Good Sam. I would also suggest contacting someone at New Hope Center-- its a pregnancy care center with locations in Crestview Hills, Latonia and Alexandria. They will be able to help you navigate to get help-- they also have nurses/ultrasound techs on staff and work with Sister Kay who is a midwife with St.E. My MIL, Pam Glenn, is the director and all of the staff are really great- HTH!

    Thank you so much!  I will look into Good Sam again, but when I did call they said that they could not do anything for me because I was not an Ohio resident.  And, I will definitely look into New Hope Center.  Again, thank you for another option!
