How to get temporary coverage

If you need family planning services right away, you may be able to enroll for temporary coverage. You will need to meet the eligibility criteria.

Certain providers are approved to help with temporary enrollment. Check with your family planning provider to see if they are an approved provider.

Temporary coverage starts the day you enroll. It ends on the last day of the following month. If you want to keep getting services after this temporary coverage ends, you will need to fill out an application for the Family Planning Only Services Program.
