If your income/assets are below the threshold (typically, 200% of Federal poverty level for a pregnant person), Medicaid should be free. Otherwise, you might owe a "spend down."
I am 19, married, not pregnant, and our total income for 2013 was $4235. Do I qualify for medicaid?
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.
Medicaid based on pregnancy has eligibility rules that are slightly more generous. There is no difference between the two in terms of medical care.
Yes. Medicaid.
The only way to answer that is by calling Medicaid and asking them if you qualify.
No, medicaid is not a federal program. It is a state program.

You can get Medicaid if you are pregnant, even if you have insurance, if you meet the other factors of eligibility including citizenship/alien status and limited financial resources.
Medicaid is administered by the States, which have some discretion in what to cover. Medicaid eligibility rules are more liberal for some individuals, such as pregnant women. However, within each State, there is, in general, only one Medicaid plan.
They can if she doesn't meet their income eligibility guidelines.
Probably, but you will have to discontinue your MI case (get a letter from your MI caseworker documenting this) and apply in NC.
