Medi-Cal Insurance
Medi-Cal is California's health care insurance for lower income people. You can apply for Medi-Cal benefits regardless of sex, race, religion, color, national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability, veteran status, or immigration status if you are age 50 or older.

• Restricted Medi-Cal (emergency and pregnancy services only) and Pregnancy-Related Medi-Cal both cover health needs during pregnancy and for birth, miscarriage, or abortion, and medical care for 12-months post-pregnancy, regardless of immigration status. For more information:
  https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/Get-Medi-Cal/Pages/pregnancy.aspx
  • If you live in CA and are income-eligible you can get immediate temporary Medi-Cal coverage for abortion care through the Presumptive Eligibility for Pregnant Women Program (PE4PW). Get help from:
    http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/mch/choi/CHOIContractorListEngSp.pdf
  • Learn more about PE4PW: https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/eligibility/Pages/PE_Info_women.aspx
  • Medi-Cal Non-Medical Transportation Benefit (NMT)
    NMT is transportation to and from a service that Medi-Cal covers. All people enrolled in Medi-Cal may use this service, including pregnant individuals to the end of the 12-month post-pregnancy period, regardless of immigration status. Find more information: https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/Pages/Transportation_General_FAQ.aspx

Get help applying for free or low-cost coverage through Community Health Outreach Initiative (CHOI)
https://www.abortionfinder.org/

Note: Applying for Medi-Cal benefits as an immigrant, with or without legal status, will NOT harm your ability to apply for immigration status changes in the future.

Paying for an abortion with private health insurance
California law requires most private health insurance plans to cover abortion services without a co-payment, deductible, or any type of cost-sharing. If you have private insurance, check with your healthcare plan because if the insurance’s primary base is not located in California, then abortion coverage may vary by the state’s laws.

Other Support for Paying for Abortion
Accessing abortion often involves costs beyond the cost of medical care. Abortion funds are private organizations that can help cover the cost of an abortion, as well as covering out-of- pocket, “logistical” or “practical support” expenses including transportation, lodging, meals, childcare, translation services, abortion doulas, and more, as well as the cost of the abortion (both for Californians as well as for people coming from out of state). Abortion funds do not check for immigration status or proof of citizenship.

Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs), also known as Pregnancy Resource Centers, are privately run places that look like health care clinics but are often not staffed by medical providers. In California and throughout the nation, they are more common than clinics that perform abortion. They are often located very close to real abortion clinics. Online, it is easy to think they are abortion clinics unless one reads the fine print. It can be difficult to tell whether a particular clinic is a medical clinic or a CPC, so please see our CPC fact sheet here.

CPCs are usually run by religious organizations and offer pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and supplies for pregnant parents and infants, for free or in exchange for clients taking classes. Some CPCs in California offer more comprehensive health services. However, rather than provide patients with accurate information about pregnancy termination so that people can make their own decisions, their aim is to discourage women from seeking abortion. CPCs across the U.S. often provide clients false medical information.

In California, Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a consumer alert warning Californians seeking reproductive health services about the limited and potentially misleading nature of the services provided by crisis pregnancy centers. Californians who believe they have been the victim or target of deceptive, misleading, unfair, or unlawful conduct should immediately file a complaint at oag.ca.gov/crisis-pregnancy-center-complaint.

If you are considering abortion and want to receive high-quality, medically accurate counseling or medical care, be sure make an appointment with a reputable, licensed health care agency, like the ones listed in this resource.
