Finally! WA Medicaid Extended to Cover the Post-Partum Year

After Pregnancy Coverage

On June 1, Washington state launched Apple Health (Medicaid) After-Pregnancy Coverage (APC) offering comprehensive health services to support mental, physical, and emotional well-being for 12 months after pregnancy to eligible individuals, no matter how the pregnancy ends. NoHLA continues to advocate with the state Health Care Authority to ensure that the implementation of this program is consistent with legislative intent. Coverage lasts up to 12 months after your pregnancy ends regardless of changes in income or immigration status. The APC flyer is available in 16 languages
