Add a Pregnancy

Key Points:

A prospective mother's Household Status must be ‘IN’ for the ‘Add Pregnancy’ button to be enabled. If the mother's Household Status is ‘OUT’, the user must update her Household Status to ‘IN’ before adding the new pregnancy to the system.

• If the mother is in multiple Master Cases, this logic still applies but be aware of the following information:
• If the mother is ‘OUT’ in all Master Cases, the ‘Add Pregnancy’ button will not be enabled.
• If the mother is ‘IN’ in at least one Master Case, the system allows the pregnancy to be added.
• A newly added Unborn will appear ONLY in a Master Case in which the mother's household status is ‘IN’. (This was implemented with the October 30, 2000 release.)

Note: To clarify, when a mother is included in multiple Master Cases with both ‘IN’ and ‘OUT’ household statuses, the Unborn will only appear in the Master Case in which the mother is ‘IN’ the household.

For example: Minor mom started in MC 123 with major mom. Minor mom then moves to her own MC 789, and is out of the household in MC123. A pregnancy is added to minor mom in MC 789(in which her household status is "IN"). Minor mom then moves back to live with major mom in MC123. The unborn does not follow minor mom to MC123, as minor mom had a status of "OUT" of household in MC123 when the unborn was added. Call Production Support at 1-888-281-6629 or 402-471-9698 and ask that the unborn be moved to MC123 so the Medicaid number and history will follow.

Steps:

1. From the Detail Master Case window, select the person for whom you want to add the pregnancy. Either double click on the person or highlight and select the person icon.
2. From the Person Detail window, select the Demographics button.
3. From the Person Demographic window, select add pregnancy.
4. On the Pregnancy window, enter the expected delivery date. Update the fetus number if there is more than one fetus.
5. Select the OK button to return to the previous window. Select the OK button again to return to the Person Detail window.
6. Save/Close from the Person Detail window.

If this is a KC Program case, the Assistance/Fund Codes will also need to be updated.
