What we checked (so you don’t have to)

We reviewed the top Nebraska search results for “Nebraska Healthcare Assistance for Single Mothers” and related terms. Most lacked 2025 FPL dollar amounts, didn’t include Nebraska’s new Prenatal Plus program, didn’t reflect that Molina now replaces Healthy Blue as an MCO, and missed the 2024 dental policy changes (adult dental cap removal). This guide fills those gaps with verified 2025 numbers, new program changes, and direct, working contacts. (medicaid.gov, dhhs.ne.gov)

Nebraska income limits you can use today (2025)

All MAGI groups use the 2025 Federal Poverty Guidelines (48 states). We show monthly income limits most single moms ask about. Household size means you plus your dependents. For pregnancy Medicaid, count the unborn(s) in household size. FPL figures: ASPE/HHS 2025 guidelines. (aspe.hhs.gov)

Quick reference table: Monthly income limits (2025)

Note: These are approximate monthly conversions of the official annual FPL thresholds. Always apply—some families qualify even if you’re slightly over due to the 5% disregard and deductions.

Sources: CMS eligibility thresholds (NE: kids 213%, pregnant 194%, parents 58%, adults to 138%); 2025 FPL; Nebraska 599 CHIP rule at 197% FPL. (medicaid.gov, aspe.hhs.gov, casetext.com)

Start here: How to apply fast

• Apply online at iServe Nebraska. If you’re on a phone, it works fine. Keep your case number handy. iServe Nebraska portal. (dhhs.ne.gov)
• Prefer phone? Call (855) 632‑7633 (Omaha (402) 595‑1178; Lincoln (402) 473‑7000). Ask for a mailed paper application if needed. (dhhs.ne.gov)
• In‑person help: Find your local DHHS office from the ACCESSNebraska page. Many offices have free kiosks and phones for applications. (dhhs.ne.gov)
• Processing time: Expect up to 45 days for most determinations (federal standard). If disability determination is involved, up to 90 days. (law.cornell.edu)
• If your address/phone changes, update DHHS right away online or by phone (same numbers as above). Missed mail is a common reason for losing coverage. (dhhs.ne.gov)

Application checklist (save this)

• Photo ID (driver’s license, state ID, or other).
• Proof of Nebraska address (lease, utility bill, or mail).
• Social Security numbers for you/kids if you have them (not required for 599 CHIP prenatal).
• Proof of income for the last 30 days (pay stubs, employer letter). If self‑employed, recent tax return or ledger.
• Pregnancy verification (clinic letter or provider note) if applying as pregnant.
• Immigration document if applicable (lawful residents can qualify; 599 CHIP prenatal does not require mom’s citizenship/immigration status). (casetext.com)

Nebraska Medicaid for single mothers (ages 19–64)

Most single moms qualify either under adult expansion (up to 138% FPL) or as pregnant. Coverage includes doctor visits, hospitalization, prescriptions, behavioral health, maternity/newborn care, lab, and more. Adults enroll in a Heritage Health managed care plan: Molina, Nebraska Total Care, or UnitedHealthcare. (dhhs.ne.gov)

• Apply: Online at iServe or by phone (855) 632‑7633 (Omaha (402) 595‑1178; Lincoln (402) 473‑7000). (dhhs.ne.gov)
• Pick your plan: Use the Heritage Health Enrollment Center (888) 255‑2605, Mon–Fri 7 a.m.–7 p.m. CT. You can change plans during your first 90 days or during open enrollment Nov 1–Dec 15 each year (or “for cause”). Change options. (neheritagehealth.com)
• Plan contacts (Member Services):
  • Molina Healthcare of Nebraska: (844) 782‑2018 (TTY 711). Contact Molina NE. (molinahealthcare.com)
  • Nebraska Total Care: (844) 385‑2192 (TTY 711). Contact NTC. (nebraskatotalcare.com)
  • UnitedHealthcare Community Plan: (800) 641‑1902 (TTY 711). UHC NE Medicaid. (uhc.com)

Costs and copays

• Pregnant women and children under 19 pay no Medicaid copays. Adults may have small copays: e.g., $2\ast \ast forgenericdrugs,\ast \ast$3 for brand drugs, $15 inpatient hospital admission. Providers can’t refuse to see you if you can’t pay at the visit, but you still owe the copay. Copayment list and exemptions. (dhhs.ne.gov)

Transportation (rides to covered medical care)

• Molina (MTM): (888) 889‑0421 (TTY 711)
• Nebraska Total Care (MTM): (844) 385‑2192 (TTY 711)
• UnitedHealthcare (Modivcare): (833) 583‑5683 (TTY 833‑587‑6527)

Heritage Health NEMT details. (dhhs.ne.gov)

Timelines to expect

• Decision: Up to 45 days for most cases; you’ll get a notice by mail/portal. (law.cornell.edu)
• Card & plan: Your MCO card usually arrives within 1–2 weeks after approval.
• PCP appointment: Try to schedule within 30 days of enrollment; ask your plan for “new member” appointment help.

What to do if this doesn’t work

• If you’re over income for adult Medicaid, check Marketplace plans with subsidies. Losing Medicaid qualifies you for a 60‑day special enrollment period via HealthCare.gov. If you’re close to the limit, apply anyway—MAGI rules include a 5% disregard that can push you under. (healthcare.gov)

---

Pregnant? Your options (Medicaid, Prenatal Plus, and 599 CHIP)

Start with Medicaid for pregnant women (up to 194% FPL). If approved for Medicaid at any point in pregnancy, you get 12 months of postpartum coverage starting January 1, 2024. If you don’t qualify for Medicaid, 599 CHIP can cover prenatal care up to 197% FPL, but 599 CHIP does not include postpartum care. (dhhs.ne.gov)

• Apply the same way (iServe or phone). Many clinics can help you apply on the spot.
• Presumptive Eligibility (PE) exists for prenatal Medicaid so you can start care quickly. Note: there is no presumptive eligibility for 599 CHIP. (public-dhhs.ne.gov)
• New in 2025: Nebraska’s Medicaid “Prenatal Plus Program” gives extra supports (nutrition counseling, psychosocial support, breastfeeding help, targeted case management) for at‑risk pregnant members. Ask your provider if you can enroll. Prenatal Plus. (dhhs.ne.gov)

Real‑world example

• Example: You’re pregnant with one child and have two kids already. Your household size is 4 (you + 2 kids + unborn). If your monthly income is $5,100\ast \ast ,you’reunderthepregnant‑Medicaidlimitofabout\ast \ast$5,198 for a family of 4 in 2025—so apply for Medicaid, not 599 CHIP. If you’re just over, 599 CHIP may still cover your prenatal care (up to ~$5,278 for HH4), but you won’t get Medicaid’s 12‑month postpartum.

What 599 CHIP is (and isn’t)

• 599 CHIP covers the unborn child’s prenatal care and the delivery. It does not cover postpartum care for mom or unrelated medical issues, and there’s no retroactive eligibility. It’s for those otherwise ineligible for Medicaid (e.g., over 194% FPL or certain immigration statuses). Continuous eligibility rules apply during pregnancy; the newborn is evaluated for Medicaid after birth. [State 599 CHIP one‑pager] (eligibility and process). [Regulatory limit 197% FPL]. (dhhs.ne.gov, casetext.com)

What changed for dental in 2024–2025 (this helps in pregnancy too)

• Nebraska removed the old $750 annual cap on adult dental in Medicaid. Dental is now provided through your MCO (Molina, Nebraska Total Care, or UnitedHealthcare). This improves access to needed work during pregnancy and postpartum. Medicaid Dental Care changes. (dhhs.ne.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• If you’re denied Medicaid and 599 CHIP, use a community health center on a sliding fee scale and ask for payment plans. Find care via Health Center Association of Nebraska – Find a Health Center. For birth control, STI testing, and pregnancy testing on a sliding scale, use Nebraska’s Title X network (see “Family Planning” below). (hcanebraska.org)

---

Coverage for kids (Medicaid/CHIP up to 213% FPL)

• Children in Nebraska qualify up to 213% FPL. Once enrolled, kids get at least 12 months continuous eligibility. Apply with your application—kids can be approved even if you aren’t. CMS table; NE eligibility updates, Nebraska eligibility. (medicaid.gov, dhhs.ne.gov)
• No copays for children (under 19). Copay exemptions. (dhhs.ne.gov)
• EPSDT means full preventive and medically necessary services for kids and teens (dental, vision, therapy, screenings). Ask your plan for regular well‑child visits and transportation if needed. (See NEMT above.)

Table: Kids’ monthly income limits (213% FPL, 2025)

Source: 2025 FPL + CMS eligibility percent for NE. (aspe.hhs.gov, medicaid.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• If you’re over income, ask the plan or DHHS about documentation and 5% disregard. If still over, check Marketplace plans with cost‑sharing reductions for children. If you lose Medicaid/CHIP, you get 60 days to pick a Marketplace plan. (healthcare.gov)

---

Family planning and reproductive health (Title X)

For confidential, low‑cost or free birth control, STI testing/treatment, Pap tests, and related care (for teens and adults), use Nebraska’s Title X network (funded by HHS and administered in‑state by Nebraska Family Planning, now the Reproductive Health Collaborative).

• Find a Title X provider: In Control Nebraska – provider finder (statewide locator). (incontrolnebraska.com)
• Program details: HHS Office of Population Affairs lists Nebraska’s Title X grantee and network reach. OPA – Family Planning Council of Nebraska. (opa.hhs.gov)
• Some Planned Parenthood sites in Lincoln/Omaha provide Title X sliding‑fee services via Nebraska Family Planning. Check hours/locations before traveling. (plannedparenthood.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Use a community health center with sliding fees: HCAN – Find a Health Center. If you need emergency contraception and cost is a barrier, ask a Title X clinic about no‑ or low‑cost options. (hcanebraska.org)

---

WIC in Nebraska (nutrition for pregnant/postpartum moms and kids under 5)

• New income guidelines took effect May 1, 2025. Examples (monthly, gross): HH1 $2,413\ast \ast ;HH2\ast \ast$3,261; HH3 $4,109\ast \ast ;HH4\ast \ast$4,957; HH5 $5,805. Nebraska WIC – About & Income Chart. (dhhs.ne.gov)
• WIC serves every county with 13 agencies and ~97 sites. Call (800) 942‑1171 or use the WIC map to find a clinic and make an appointment. WIC map & info. (dhhs.ne.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Ask your clinic about “adjunct eligibility” (if you or a child has Medicaid or SNAP, you often qualify for WIC automatically). If you’re slightly over, still call—some families qualify based on current circumstances. (dhhs.ne.gov)

---

Women’s cancer screening and treatment help (Every Woman Matters)

• EWM pays for breast and cervical screening (and some diagnostics). Screening ages vary by service; many screenings target 21–64; diagnostic pathways can start as young as 18 for breast issues. Income generally up to 250% FPL. Enroll by phone at (800) 532‑2227 or complete the online Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire. EWM program. (dhhs.ne.gov)
• If you’re diagnosed through EWM and uninsured, you may qualify for Medicaid treatment under the state’s Women’s Cancer Program. EWM nurses help with that referral. EWM screening & diagnostic pages, EWM Diagnostic Program. (dhhs.ne.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• If you’re not eligible, ask your local FQHC for low‑cost mammograms/Pap (some offer special grant days). Also check Susan G. Komen’s helpline at (877) 465‑6636 for local assistance. (dhhs.ne.gov)

---

Dental, vision, interpreter services and other add‑ons you might miss

• Dental: As of Jan 1, 2024, adult dental dollar caps were removed; coverage runs through your MCO. Ask your plan about covered services and the incremental denture payment policy that helps providers start care sooner. Dental policy update. (dhhs.ne.gov)
• Vision: Included with Heritage Health plans. Check your MCO handbook.
• Language access: All three MCOs offer free interpreters (including ASL). Call your plan to request an interpreter for appointments. Examples: Molina (844) 782‑2018, NTC (844) 385‑2192, UHC (800) 641‑1902. (molinahealthcare.com, nebraskatotalcare.com, uhc.com)
• Tobacco quit help: Nebraska Tobacco Quitline 1‑800‑QUIT‑NOW with free coaching and nicotine replacement for eligible callers. Text support available. Tobacco Free Nebraska. (dhhs.ne.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• If a provider says “we don’t have an interpreter,” call your plan from the office—plans can conference in language services. If you get billed after a covered dental service, appeal with your plan and request an explanation of benefits first.

Who is managing your Medicaid? (Nebraska’s three plans in 2025)

Nebraska’s Heritage Health program moved to three MCOs: Molina, Nebraska Total Care, and UnitedHealthcare (Healthy Blue is no longer an MCO). See DHHS for plan documents and public dashboard. (dhhs.ne.gov)

Sources: DHHS Heritage Health pages and each plan’s contact pages. (dhhs.ne.gov, molinahealthcare.com, nebraskatotalcare.com, uhc.com)

Common mistakes to avoid

• Sending an incomplete application. Upload or submit all pay stubs and the pregnancy letter if pregnant.
• Ignoring mail from DHHS or your plan. If you moved, update your contact info immediately to avoid losing coverage. (dhhs.ne.gov)
• Not adding the unborn to household size when applying as pregnant.
• Missing your 90‑day window to switch plans or the Nov 1–Dec 15 open enrollment. (neheritagehealth.com)

Diverse communities: tailored tips and resources

• LGBTQ+ single mothers: Title X clinics and community health centers offer inclusive, confidential care (birth control, STI testing, Pap tests) regardless of ability to pay. Find providers via In Control Nebraska or HCAN – Find a Health Center. (incontrolnebraska.com, hcanebraska.org)
• Single mothers with disabilities or with disabled children: Ask about Medicaid waivers and case management through your MCO. Start with Medicaid & Long‑Term Care. (dhhs.ne.gov)
• Veteran single mothers: Pair Medicaid with VA care if eligible; use your MCO’s care management to coordinate referrals.
• Immigrant/refugee moms: If you can’t get Medicaid due to status, apply for 599 CHIP for prenatal care (no mom immigration requirement). For non‑emergency conditions, use FQHCs on a sliding fee scale; for emergencies, ER care is covered regardless of status and may be eligible for emergency Medicaid. 599 CHIP one‑pager. (dhhs.ne.gov)
• Tribal citizens: No copays in Medicaid/CHIP when using IHS/Tribal/Urban Indian providers; certain resources don’t count against eligibility. DHHS Tribal Health Members. (dhhs.ne.gov)
• Rural moms (limited providers/long drives): Use your MCO’s NEMT early (book rides a few days ahead). Many FQHCs offer telehealth and mobile clinics. HCAN health centers map. (hcanebraska.org)
• Single fathers: These programs cover eligible single fathers and caregivers too. If the kids live with you, apply for their coverage.
• Language access: All Medicaid plans provide free interpreters. Request one when booking. See plan contacts above. (nebraskatotalcare.com, molinahealthcare.com, uhc.com)
