NIRH supported ACCESS Reproductive Justice (RJ) and DuPont Clinic over the past two years to advocate for an increase in Medi-Cal (state Medicaid) reimbursement rates for later abortion care in California. In the wake of Dobbs, ensuring access to later abortion is more critical than ever. With NIRH strategic guidance and messaging support, ACCESS RJ and DuPont Clinic developed materials for government officials to describe the urgent need to increase Medi-Cal reimbursement rates and strengthened relationships with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and the California Assembly.
