Here’s Which Planned Parenthood Clinics Are Still Seeing Medicaid Patients

For years, Republicans have talked about “defunding” Planned Parenthood. This year, they made their most significant step yet toward that goal with the budget reconciliation bill signed into law by President Trump on July 4.

Under this budget law, health-care providers who received more than $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursement in fiscal year 2023, and provide abortions as of October 1, 2025, are ineligible to bill Medicaid for one year. In June, we reported that Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) had announced a plan that would allow some of its regional affiliates to stop providing abortions so they could continue accepting that form of insurance. Others would continue providing abortion care, therefore losing their Medicaid eligibility. In September, PPFA told us this plan was no longer being considered. But as the October 1 deadline loomed, one affiliate—Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin—announced it would stop providing abortion care in the hopes of remaining eligible to participate in Medicaid.

Remember, federal funds cannot pay for abortions except in extremely limited circumstances due to an unjust policy called the Hyde Amendment. For the most part, Planned Parenthood clinics were only getting Medicaid reimbursement for providing other services, like birth control, STI testing, and cancer screenings. However, because Medicaid is funded by a combination of federal and state funds, the program does cover abortion in 20 states that pay for abortion coverage themselves.

So far, PPWI is the only affiliate to halt abortions. But because all of Planned Parenthood’s 46 affiliates are independent organizations, they are responding to Medicaid “defunding” in their own ways. (The number was 47, before the Gulf Coast affiliate closed its Louisiana clinics and merged with Greater Texas.) This means care—and specifically, whether or those insured by Medicaid can still get care at a Planned Parenthood location—will look different depending on where people live. 

Autonomy News has contacted every affected affiliate to determine whether they will continue to provide abortions, whether they’re still accepting patients with Medicaid, and if so, whether those patients can still get no- or low-cost care. 

Here’s what we know. This list may be updated.

No longer providing abortions, still seeing Medicaid patients

1. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin (read more)
   As of October 1, PPWI is the first Planned Parenthood affiliate to drop abortion services in a state where abortion remains legal. Medicaid recipients can still use their Medicaid at PPWI for other services like cancer screenings and contraception, and can get in-person abortion care at Care for All or Affiliated Medical Services.

No longer seeing Medicaid patients, still providing abortions

1. Planned Parenthood Arizona (read more)
   Due to Arizona Medicaid rules, health providers can’t accept self-payment for services covered by Medicaid. However, because Arizona Medicaid doesn’t cover abortion except in limited circumstances, abortion patients with Medicaid have always been able to self-pay and can continue to do so.

Still providing abortions; Medicaid services at no cost or sliding scale

1. Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York
   Per PPCWNY’s website, “we are still treating Medicaid patients, at no cost to them.”
2. Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette (OR, one clinic in WA)
   “At this time, PPCW is still providing care for patients covered by Medicaid, even though we are not able to receive reimbursement from Medicaid,” the affiliate told us via email.
3. Planned Parenthood of Delaware 
   PPDE is offering abortion and seeing patients with Medicaid insurance, who are "offered free services, or sliding scale fee."
4. Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai‘i, Alaska, Indiana, and Kentucky
   Abortion is banned in Indiana and Kentucky, but this affiliate will continue to provide abortion care to patients at its locations in Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii. “Clinics will submit claims to the state health care authority for Medicaid reimbursement, as usual. But now that money will come only from state coffers, with no federal help,” they told us.
5. Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio
   “Medicaid patients can still self-pay for services at Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio. Patients may be eligible for other financial aid and payment plans that cover the costs of services. We also offer a discount card at our pharmacy PPRx," a spokesperson said.
6. Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington and North Idaho
   Abortion is banned in Idaho, but PPGWNI continues to provide abortions at its Washington locations. Washington state is covering lost Medicaid revenue for Planned Parenthood using state funds.

9. Planned Parenthood Keystone (Central and Eastern PA)
   This affiliate confirms it will continue providing abortions and that Medicaid patients can receive care at no cost for now. However a spokesperson added that if courts ultimately uphold the “defund” provision, “we may have to disenroll completely from the program and transition to serving Medicaid patients on a self-pay fee structure,” which would be sliding scale.
10. Planned Parenthood Los Angeles
    This affiliate continues to see Medicaid patients and is “not passing on any additional costs to our patients at this time.”

23. Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania

Still providing abortions, Medicaid patients must self-pay

1. Planned Parenthood of Michigan
   PPMI says it can see Medicaid recipients on a cash-pay basis, and that “we talk to everyone about all of their options, so they can choose what’s best for them.
