UnitedHealthcare encourages all MCP-contracted providers to complete and submit the web-based pregnancy and risk assessment form (PRAF 2.0) to assist pregnant women in maintaining Medicaid eligibility and connecting to needed services and supports (e.g., home visiting)”. The web-based PRAF 2.0 automatically notifies the county, MCP and home health provider of the pregnancy once it is submitted. The PRAF 2.0 also allows for an Ohio Board of Pharmacy approved progesterone prescription to be printed and faxed to the appropriate pharmacy. Providers are encouraged to use the following resources for the improvement of pregnancy outcomes.
