Pregnant? Medi-Cal covers pregnancy at much higher incomes than regular adult Medi-Cal — free full-scope coverage up to 213% of the federal poverty level (about $2,832/mo for one person, $3,841/mo for a household of two — and your baby counts in household size). Above that, the low-cost MCAP program continues to about $5,809/mo (household of two).

Good to know

  • Pregnancy care is open regardless of immigration status — including under the 2026 enrollment changes, which affect undocumented adults' comprehensive coverage but not pregnancy-related care.
  • Medi-Cal enrolls year-round — there's no open-enrollment window to wait for.
  • Count your unborn baby when figuring household size.
