Confirming Your Pregnancy First
Before anything else, confirming your at-home result with medical-grade testing is important.
Echoz provides free pregnancy testing. Following a positive result, our nurses will determine if a limited ultrasound can be offered to give you key details, including how far along you are, whether the pregnancy is developing, and whether it’s located safely in the uterus.
Montana Medicaid and Coverage Options
In Montana, several programs can help cover pregnancy-related medical costs regardless of insurance status. Medicaid covers prenatal visits, delivery, and postpartum care for women who meet income requirements, and enrollment can often begin quickly once a pregnancy is confirmed.
Additionally, WIC provides nutrition support, food benefits, and breastfeeding assistance for pregnant women and young children.
Other insurance options include finding an employer-sponsored plan by taking a job that offers it or switching from part-time to full-time work to become eligible for this benefit.
If your partner has an insurance plan through his work, he could add you to it through marriage or domestic partnership. However, this option is only for those who truly want to mutually commit and marry their partners, where it would be a good decision regardless of insurance benefits.
Your Pregnancy Options
Even without health insurance, support is available as you weigh all your options. If parenting is something you’re considering, support programs are available to help with everything from prenatal care to material support, and our nurses can connect you with local resources.
We can also help you apply for Medicaid, WIC, and additional services. You can still receive the care you need even without insurance or when finances are tight.
If adoption is an option you’re considering, all legal expenses are covered. Medical costs are generally paid for as well, helping remove any financial pressure as you select a family for your child and the level of contact you’d like to maintain.
If you have questions about abortion, our team can provide factual, evidence based medical information about what that option involves. There’s no commitment to a specific decision simply by getting more information.
Free & Confidential Support
Whatever your situation, you don’t have to navigate it alone. We’ll help you learn more about your options and what resources are available.
