The Pregnancy-related Services (PRS) program is a package of services available to all pregnant women who receive Medicaid. PRS helps pregnant mothers schedule and keep their doctor appointments and offers individual counseling and group education classes in Lamaze, parenting, child care, and nutrition.

PRS also makes referrals to other assistance programs, including Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), which provides food and nutritional education to pregnant women, mothers, and children under the age of five.
