Sec. 435.170  Pregnant women eligible for extended coverage.



    (a) The agency must provide categorically needy Medicaid eligibility 

for an extended period following termination of pregnancy to women who, 

while pregnant, applied for, were eligible for, and received Medicaid 

services on the day that their pregnancy ends. This period extends from 

the last day of pregnancy through the end of the month in which a 60-day 

period, beginning on the last day of the pregnancy, ends. Eligibility 

must be provided regardless of changes in the woman's financial 

circumstances that may occur within this extended period. These women 

are eligible for the extended period for all services under the plan 

that are pregnancy-related (as defined in Sec. 440.210(c)(1) of this 

subchapter).

    (b) The provisions of paragraph (a) of this section apply to 

Medicaid furnished on or after April 7, 1986.
