ACCESS FOR INFANTS AND MOTHERS (AIM)

AIM IS CALIFORNIA'S INSURANCE PROGRAM FOR MID-INCOME PREGNANT WOMEN AND THEIR NEWBORNS.

Participating in the aim program is just like having private insurance, except for AIM's low cost to you. AIM is designed for families who don't have health insurance and whose income is too high to qualify for no-cost Medi-Cal. AIM is also available to those who have health insurance, but only if the maternity-only deductible or co-payment is more than $500.

WHAT SERVICES ARE COVERED?
The AIM program covers all your medically necessary services from the time you are accepted into the AIM program, until 60 days after your pregnancy has ended. The newborn is fully covered up to his or her second birthday.

· All necessary physician services
· Hospital services
· Prescriptions
· Diagnostic testing
· Health education
· Medical equipment charges
· Prenatal care
· Well-baby care
· Emergency services
· Mental health
