Every Woman Counts
Free breast and cervical cancer screening and treatment for eligible women. Call 1-800-511-2300 for more information.

BabyCAL
Women without health insurance should consider applying for Medi-Cal if they become pregnant. Eligibility requirements are less restrictive for pregnancy-only coverage. Sonoma County residents may apply for Medi-Cal at the Department of Human Services, 2550 Paulin Drive, Santa Rosa or at a location that provides Medi-Cal application assistance. Women who think they might be eligible are encouraged to contact a provider participating in the Medi-Cal Presumptive Eligibility (PE) for Pregnant Women. This program issues women a temporary card to begin their prenatal care prior to completing the formal Medi-Cal application process.

Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP)
Nutritional, psychosocial and health education support services are available to perinatal patients through the Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program. Qualified providers may receive reimbursement from Medi-Cal for delivering these enhanced obstetrical services.

Presumptive Eligibility (PE) for Pregnant Women Program
Allows Qualified Providers to grant immediate, temporary Medi-Cal coverage for ambulatory prenatal care and prescription drugs for conditions related to pregnancy to low-income, pregnant patients, pending their formal Medi-Cal application.

Access for Infants and Mothers (AIM)
Women that are uninsured or underinsured and do not meet income guidelines for Medi-Cal may qualify for the AIM Program. AIM offers affordable prenatal and maternity insurance for middle-income pregnant women, and health insurance for their babies through Healthy Families program.
