Will non-citizens be evaluated for Medicaid ESO (Emergency Services Only) and will pregnant non-citizens be referred to the Maternity Outpatient Medical Services (MOMS) program?
Yes, non-citizens are evaluated for Medicaid ESO. Maternity Outpatient Medical Services (MOMS) eligibility is determined by local health departments. To the extent that local health departments work closely with MIChild and Healthy Kids applicants, non-citizens who are pregnant and who are approved for Healthy Kids will likely be referred for MOMS.
