(1) meet all qualifications to participate in the children's health insurance program, the AIDS drug assistance program, the health insurance assistance program, or any other health care program of the state; and
(2) test positive under section 5 or 6 of this chapter;
shall be given first priority on a waiting list for the program if a waiting list exists. If a program does not have a waiting list, the woman described in this subsection shall be automatically approved and accepted into the program.
(b) If the state department determines during the process described in section 11(a)(3) of this chapter that the treatment of a woman who tests positive under this chapter should not be interrupted because of medical necessity, the woman may enter a program described in subsection (a) regardless of the existence of a waiting list for the program.
