what is presumptive care?
Ohio Medicaid has offered a type of presumptive Medicaid coverageâformerly known as âexpedited. Medicaidââfor pregnant women for several years, but has only recently added presumptive eligibility for. children (ages 0-19). The purpose of presumptive Medicaid eligibility is to allow immediate, but time. limited, coverage for certain individuals who appear to meet Medicaid eligibility and have an immediate. need for medical care. For pregnant women, the goal is to offer prenatal care as quickly as possible in order.
