What is MPE?
MPE is a program for pregnant women. MPE offers immediate, temporary coverage for outpatient health services to pregnant women who meet income requirements. There are no co-payments or premiums in MPE.

You must go to an MPE provider. The MPE provider will decide if you can get MPE. To get MPE, the provider must verify that you are pregnant and you must tell the provider your family's gross monthly income. If you are pregnant and meet the income requirements for MPE, you can get MPE.
You do not have to be a citizen or a legal immigrant to get MPE.
You do not have to have a Social Security number to get MPE.
