Pregnant Women
Pregnant women, below 200% FPL, are eligible for free Pregnancy-Only Medi-Cal, which is restricted to pre-natal care, labor and delivery services, family planning services, and postpartum care that lasts for at least 60 days after the end of pregnancy. This is available to undocumented pregnant women as well. More information on Pregnancy-Only Medi-Cal can be found here.
Presumptive Eligibility Medi-Cal provides immediate, temporary coverage for prenatal care to low-income pregnant women pending their Medi-Cal application. More information on Presumptive Eligibility Medi-Cal can be found on the State website.
Women residing in California who are between 200 – 300% FPL may enroll in the AIM (Access for Infants and Mothers) program through pregnancy and up to 60 days after birth. A mother’s enrollment in AIM will enroll her child in Healthy Families for that period of time. The cost of the program is a monthly premium that is on a sliding scale according to income, and will not exceed more than 1.5% of a family’s income. It is still to be determined whether and how these AIM-linked infants will enroll in Medi-Cal instead of Healthy Families in 2014.
