Go to a family planning provider (https://www.health.ny.gov/community/pregnancy/family_planning/program_sites.htm) near you. Providers will screen you to see if you're eligible and help you apply.

When you get screened, you might be able to get immediate coverage if you appear to be eligible for FPBP. This is called presumptive eligibility.

• Presumptive eligibility starts from the day of the screening until the date your application is processed and you are found eligible for FPBP.
• You'll get a Medicaid card and have full access to all FPBP-covered services.

You will need documents to prove the following: - Identity: such as a photo ID, drivers license, passport, or other official photo ID - Age: such as Birth certificate, adoption or foster care records, or official hospital or school records - Social Security Number - Income (if any): such as a recent pay stub, letter from employer stating income, unemployment, child support, or alimony award letter - Residency: such as a photo ID with your address, postmarked envelope, utility bill, or lease - Health insurance: such as benefit card or policy statements (if you have health insurance).
