Pregnancy Services
The first step of any pregnancy journey is to see a doctor. It is recommended that you see your doctor within two weeks of finding out you are pregnant. If you need help finding an OB-GYN, we can help. Use our Find a Provider tool or call Member Services at 1-866-796-0530.
Please let us know you are pregnant by logging in to your secure member portal account and filling out a Notice of Pregnancy form.
Newborn Services
We understand that this can be both an exciting and overwhelming time. You can’t take care of your baby if you don’t also care for yourself. It is recommended that you see your doctor with seven to 30 days after having your baby to make sure you are healing well.
As a Sunshine Health member, you have access to postpartum benefits and services that will support you and your newborn's health. State Medicaid coverage allows women to keep Medicaid for 12 months after giving birth.

Postpartum Services
We’re excited to support the health of you and your baby during this milestone first year. As you track your baby’s milestones, make sure you are also tracking your own health.
