As far as I know, there are no free lunches in this world.

If your name is JOSE Fernandez living in California or Arizona, then you might find a loophole and get something for free. But for BAHADUR from Nepal, it is almost impossible. Good luck.

I have met many Nepali friends had babies while they  did not have insurance. If you do qualify for financial assistance, it is free. There are ways and find out local community who helps on this matter. Go WIC, they may have something for you.  If you trying to get insurance after conceived will not be covered.

Hi there I have gone through  your situation in Jan.  You can get Pernatal care for the maternity care known as Chip that cover all the your expenses during pregancy  included  4 ultrasound and labor. Other is WIC that is a  nutrition food  coupon  for  mother and baby. for this you have to do Two thing  1  look for the Oklahoma health and community service and get the form  and fill it out and submit in person. If you have SS then you may get Medicare for you.If not then apply for the CHIP Best recommendation will be go to any hospital for check up and tell them you don't have insurance and you want to apply for Maternity medicare then they will help you out these are done in registration department. Before you get there find out if there are any rep for this.  To be qualified you need show what is your income ?  It you are  working llegal then they will ask your annual income or if you are student then they will ask you the verification of your supporting person.Once these are done then you will be reciving Medicare in a 2-4 weeks.If they denies you then they or you may have to apply for the Chip. So there for find a OB/GYN  in internet then  talk to doctorthat accept govt Medicare and  then it will works hey  don't panic about it . I went through it but later it went smoothly. Here are the docs u needed your ID, Proof of your pregancy ,and  your annual income, it doest not matter even if you are international student.  Check this site  which may help you a lot.  DO not hesitate man    to apply . It is not only you doing this .  Need more help let me know. All the best http://www.okdhs.org/programsa...
