Welcome to the Presumptive Eligibility for Pregnant Women (PE4PW) web site.

The PE4PW program allows Qualified Providers (QPs) to grant immediate, temporary Medi-Cal coverage for ambulatory prenatal care, including abortion,​ and prescription drugs for conditions related to pregnancy to low-income, pregnant patients, pending their formal Medi-Cal application.

Information For Women Interested In This Program

The PE4PW program is designed for low-income California residents who believe they are pregnant and who do not have Medi-Cal coverage for prenatal care.
