Eligibility

SOBRA Medicaid is a medical insurance that covers pregnancy-related procedures until 60 days postpartum. Women qualify based on household income. A woman may have a household income of $51,000 and still qualify for SOBRA if she and her partner work and they have four children plus the one they are expecting. If you are pregnant, you may qualify for this special health insurance program.  To see if you are eligible click here to review the Department of Health and Human Services 2005 Poverty Guidelines. You can apply for this program if your family meets these guidelines, even if you or other family members are working.

Once you are enrolled, the program will cover medical care and hospitalization during your pregnancy.  It may also cover health care bills you received up to three months before your enrollment.  There is no cost for this coverage.  Your baby may also be eligible for free insurance after he or she is born.

Applications are available at physician’s offices, the Department of Health, the Department of Children and Families, and other qualifying pregnancy testing centers.  If your health care center needs applications please call the MomCare Program of the Healthy Start Coalition of Miami-Dade at (305) 541-0210 or click here for application.
