Can you be over the income/asset limits and still qualify for NY Medicaid insurance coverage?

Question

I heard that you can be denied for income/assets being too high, but if you enter the pooled trust you can be exempt from that.

Answer 1

Sure, if you're pregnant.  There are much more lenient guidelines for pregnant women.  

The pooled trust is basically a high risk health pool - and is run seperately.

Answer 2

You may still qualify for Family Health Plus.

Sometimes the income and resource levels are higher if, for instance, you are pregnant...
