Medicaid In Texas?

Question

Can Anyone tell me ( Preferably a woman) About Regulations on medicaid and being pregnant? How many hours can you work or your husband/boyfriend or who ever you live with to be covered? How can you be denied? Anything will help, Thanks!

Answer 1

If you file under the state children's health insurance program (NOT regular medicaid), the guidelines are much more lenient.  But it's still going to depend on total household income, and the number of people in the house.  The baby counts as a person, though.
