How can women on Medicaid for Pregnant Women (TP 40) transition to WHP and avoid a gap in coverage?
Women cannot be enrolled in both Medicaid for Pregnant Women and WHP at the same time. To transition from Medicaid for Pregnant Women to WHP, a client may apply for WHP in the last month of her eligibility for Medicaid for Pregnant Women. If she meets WHP eligibility criteria, her WHP coverage will begin the first day of the month following the end of her Medicaid coverage. For example, if a woman will lose eligibility in Medicaid for Pregnant Women in April, she may apply for WHP in April. If she provides all necessary documentation in a timely manner and is eligible, she will be enrolled in WHP as of May 1.
