Overview
- The affiliate permanently closed centers in South San Francisco, San Mateo, Gilroy, Westside/Santa Cruz and Madera following the July 4 law that bars Medicaid payments to abortion providers.
- The One Big Beautiful Bill prohibits clinics that perform abortions and received over $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements in 2023 from billing Medicaid for any services for one year.
- In the week after stopping Medicaid billing on July 18, Mar Monte treated about 5,000 patients at a cost of roughly $1.7 million in unreimbursed care.
- To stem financial losses, the affiliate also ended family medicine, behavioral health and prenatal programs at its remaining sites.
- Nearly 200 Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide are at risk of closure as the federation’s lawsuits yield only partial injunctions and the legal fight over the funding cuts continues.
