When Formal Verification of a Pregnancy is Needed

The most common reason women need proof of pregnancy is to apply for Medicaid healthcare insurance and governmental assistance programs. In most states, Medicaid provides healthcare coverage to qualifying low-income pregnant women.

Additionally, some employers may request proof of pregnancy from employees who apply for maternity leave. Adoption agencies and abortion clinics will often require pregnancy verification as well.

Confirming Pregnancy

When someone suspects they are pregnant, they can follow the below steps to confirm and verify their pregnancy.

  1. Take a personal pregnancy test.
  2. If the test is positive, schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider.
  3. If the medical professional confirms the pregnancy, request a pregnancy verification letter as proof.
