Planned Parenthood Resumes Medicaid Billing for Non-Abortion Services After Federal Cutoff

Planned Parenthood and two smaller regional abortion providers resumed billing Medicaid for non-abortion services on Sunday, July 5. The one-year cutoff had been required by a federal tax and policy law signed by President Donald Trump in 2025. During that period Planned Parenthood affiliates closed nearly 30 of roughly 600 clinics.

Service volumes fell sharply. Affiliates dispensed about 25 percent fewer packs of birth control pills and performed roughly 20 percent fewer breast cancer exams than in the prior year. Individual affiliates responded in different ways.

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin halted abortions for about one month before dropping its essential community provider status to resume seeking reimbursement. The Arizona affiliate paused many services for Medicaid patients and has since announced expanded hours and additional telehealth options. Maine Family Planning closed three primary care clinics that had served about 1,000 patients.

Senior vice president Evelyn Kieltyka said Monday that former patients now face average waits of four to six months to establish care with new providers. The organization does not plan to reopen the clinics. Health Imperatives in Massachusetts maintained all services because the state covered the lost federal reimbursements.

Planned Parenthood reported that 14 states provided some form of coverage during the cutoff. A closed Planned Parenthood clinic in Lakeland, Florida, is not expected to reopen, partly due to uncertainty over future reimbursement policy. Kelsey Pritchard, a spokesperson for Susan B.

Anthony Pro-Life America, said Monday that abortion opponents should lobby Congress to enact another measure cutting off Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood.
