California details
Between 213% and 322% FPL, coverage is through CHIP's From Conception to End of Pregnancy option, which covers the pregnancy (the unborn child) regardless of the parent's immigration status; benefits and postpartum coverage under this option can be narrower than full Medicaid. BenefitsCal is California's statewide online application for Medi-Cal and other benefits.
