Yes, if you are under 18 and/or caretaker relative of child under 18; or over 65; or permanently and totally disabled as defined by Social Security regulations; meet citizenship requirements; and have limited income/assets.

you can still apply for it
You can get Medicaid when pregnant if you meet the eligibility requirements - principally, citizenship and limited income/assets. Medicaid can be backdated up to three months prior to the month of your application.You can get Medicaid even if you have insurance; however, your provider(s) must bill your insurance first, prior to billing Medicaid.
You should apply for Medicaid as soon as you meet the eligibility requirements, such as having a low income or being pregnant. It's best to apply as soon as possible to ensure you have access to healthcare coverage when needed.
Medicaid based on pregnancy has eligibility rules that are slightly more generous. There is no difference between the two in terms of medical care.
