The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Communication (PRAF) is Ohio Medicaid’s preferred method for providers to notify the state and us of an individual’s pregnancy. You can submit this information via a paper or online form. The online form is called PRAF 2.0.
The PRAF 2.0:
- Is the Ohio Department of Medicaid’s preferred notification of pregnancy
- Is the only pregnancy notification that automatically
- Updates Medicaid eligibility, which helps to
- Prevent loss of Medicaid coverage during pregnancy
- Prevent payment delays
- Notifies us of a pregnancy
- Notifies the home health agency of the need for progesterone
- Assesses for additional patient needs
- Results in the generation of a progesterone prescription that can be printed and faxed or taken to a pharmacy
