  • Appointments with a doctor or health care professional for necessary care.
  • Medical care in an emergency.
  • Maternity and newborn care.
  • Mental health services.

  • Prescription medications.
  • Laboratory services.
  • Hospitalization.
  • Transportation to and from medical appointments, when necessary.
