Medicaid and Your New Baby

Medicaid and Your New Baby

If you have a baby while you are on Medicaid or ARKids First, your baby will most likely be able to get Medicaid too.

You need to fill out paperwork on your new baby as soon as you can.

You’ll need a birth certificate or some kind of proof of your baby’s age.

Make sure your baby sees the doctor for “well-child” check-ups and shots. If your baby has Medicaid or ARKids First, these services are paid for. Talk to your doctor about how often your baby needs well-child check-ups.
