Planned Parenthood Mar Monte Shutters Five Northern California Clinics After Medicaid Defunding

Planned Parenthood Mar Monte closed five clinics after losing federal Medicaid reimbursements, absorbing millions in unreimbursed care costs.

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.
