Medi-Cal is administered on a fee-for-service or managed care arrangement, with roughly equal numbers of women enrolled in each at the time of the study. Pregnant women have four options for health care coverage under Medi-Cal: Full-coverage Medi-Cal, Pregnancy-related Medi-Cal (covering pregnancy-related healthcare only), Presumptive Eligibility for Pregnant Women (temporary pregnancy-only coverage), and Medi-Cal Access Program (for those women whose incomes are too high to qualify for Medi-Cal, coverage of all healthcare during and shortly after pregnancy for a low-cost premium). While the California Department of Health Care Services considers the Medi-Cal Access Program and Presumptive Eligibility for Pregnant Women fee-for-service programs, only the traditional fee-for-service billing records (both full-coverage and pregnancy-only) contain complete information for care provided to the beneficiary; therefore, we requested data only for those beneficiaries with traditional fee-for-service coverage. These claims represent approximately one quarter of all Medi-Cal covered abortions .
