FAMIS MOMS
What is FAMIS MOMS?
The FAMIS MOMS program provides health care coverage for pregnant women.
Good health care during pregnancy is important for you and your baby. FAMIS MOMS encourages pregnant women to get early and regular prenatal (before birth) care.
And now, extended postpartum coverage is available for 12 months after the birth of your baby. Your full health care coverage will continue during that time even if your income changes.
What services does FAMIS MOMS cover?
With FAMIS MOMS, you get full health care benefits during your pregnancy and for one year after your baby’s birth. FAMIS MOMS covers breast pumps and breast feeding support during your pregnancy and after your baby is born.
You will get health care services through health plans. The health plans all have special programs for high-risk pregnancies. To learn more, call your health plan Member Services or go to Health Plan Information.
You also have dental benefits during and after your pregnancy. Dental services are through the Smiles for Children program. For help finding a dentist or to learn more, call Smiles for Children at 1-888-912-3456. Also read the [PDF] Guide to Dental Coverage.
With FAMIS MOMS there are no enrollment fees, monthly premiums (costs), or co-pays for pregnancy-related services.
