SB 2390 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Medicaid; remove proof of income requirement from presumptive eligibility for pregnant women.

SB 2390 removes the requirement for pregnant women to provide proof of income when a qualified health provider (like a county health department or community health center) makes a preliminary Medicaid eligibility determination for prenatal care. Instead, providers can now base this determination solely on preliminary income information, without needing verification documents. Pregnant women deemed presumptively eligible can immediately receive prenatal care during a temporary period while completing their full Medicaid application, which must be submitted by the end of the following month. This change aligns Mississippi's Medicaid rules with federal requirements for presumptive eligibility.
