Services for Pregnant Women
Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (MCAH)
What's Available?
MCAH Program's goals are to improve the health
of all newborns in Orange County. We aim to increase access to
early and continuous prenatal care (pdf document) among all
pregnant women.
We provide access to free or low-cost prenatal
care by linking expectant mothers and their families to doctor’s
offices or community clinics in their area. Regardless of
residency status, any uninsured pregnant woman in Orange County
can call for referral to a clinic where she can start her prenatal
care.

Here are some programs to ask about:
Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP)
A Medi-Cal benefit program for pregnant women that combines
nutrition, health education, and psychosocial support services
with prenatal care to help women deliver a healthy baby. Ask
your prenatal care provider about this program at your first
prenatal care visit.
Presumptive Eligibility (PE)
A program that pays for care now while you apply for Medi-Cal.
Medi-Cal
The state medical insurance program for low income families. If
you are not a documented resident but live in California, you
can still qualify for Medi-Cal.
AIM
Access for Infants and Mothers provides low-cost health care
insurance for pregnant women who do not qualify for Medi-Cal.
