What Are My Options if I’m Pregnant and Don’t Have Health Insurance?

Without health insurance, the question of how to pay for medical care can hit almost as hard as the news itself. Doctor visits, lab work, an ultrasound, everything that comes after. It’s important to know that help is available, and at Anderson Pregnancy Care, getting those first answers doesn’t require insurance or any out-of-pocket cost.

Your First Step Is Free

Anderson Pregnancy Care offers free pregnancy testing with medical-grade tests. If your result is positive, a nurse will determine whether a limited first-trimester ultrasound can be offered. An ultrasound confirms how far along the pregnancy is, whether the pregnancy is located in the uterus, and whether the pregnancy appears to be progressing. No insurance is needed for any of these services.

Programs That Can Help Cover Costs

South Carolina has programs that may help cover the cost of prenatal and maternity care:

• Healthy Connections Medicaid: South Carolina’s Medicaid program covers prenatal visits, delivery, and up to 12 months of postpartum care for women who meet income requirements. Pregnant women with household incomes up to 199% of the federal poverty level may qualify. Apply at apply.scdhhs.gov or call (888) 549-0820.
• WIC: A free nutrition program for pregnant women that provides healthy food benefits, nutrition education, and breastfeeding support. Call 1-855-472-3432 or apply online.
