Medicaid Family Planning Benefits To Expand In Md.


ANNAPOLIS (AP) More low-income women will be eligible for Medicaid family planning services in Maryland next week when a new law takes effect.
The expansion will allow Maryland women who are at or below 200 percent of the poverty level and under 51 years of age to be eligible for services such as pelvic exams, screenings for breast and reproductive cancer, high blood pressure and diabetes. Tests for sexually transmitted diseases, counseling and prescriptions for contraception also are provided.
