Pregnant Women
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires states to utilize a single streamlined application approved by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. In Arizona, this is completed through the Health-e-Arizona Plus (HEAplus) online application. HEAplus offers a quick and user-friendly process when applying for health insurance and can be accessed directly at www.healthearizonaplus.gov.
AHCCCS offers health insurance for pregnant women who meet income and eligibility requirements. For those who qualify, there are no monthly premiums.
