Fairfax County Maternity On-Line Medical Referral Services - MOMS

Women who see a health care provider early and regularly during pregnancy have healthier babies, are less likely to delivery prematurely, and are less likely to have other serious problems related to pregnancy.

The Fairfax County Health Department through its safety-net medical program and partners provide prenatal care referrals to eligible clients for prenatal care and delivery through Inovacares Clinic for Women.

Pregnant women with no maternity insurance coverage meet up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines and live in Fairfax County, Fairfax City, or the city of Falls Church.

This is not Medicaid; approval for Medicaid assistance can take up to 45 days. However we can help you with our services at the Health Department and assist you in applying for Medicaid.

Back to questions

A positive home pregnancy test is a good start, but the test result will need to be confirmed by a doctor or a clinic. If you have had a positive home pregnancy test but this has not been confirmed by a doctor, please contact us so you can get an appointment for a pregnancy test as soon as possible or come to one of the 5 district offices during walk-in clinic hours for a pregnancy test. The Fairfax County Health Department clinic can provide pregnancy testing during our walk-in clinic hours. You may take a pregnancy test for a $15.00 fee.
