Access for
Infants and Mothers Program
(AIM) |
The State of California established
the Access for Infants and Mothers
(AIM) Program to increase access to
health care services for pregnant
women who do not have maternity
health insurance (or have a
maternity deductible of $500+) or do
not qualify for Medi-Cal.
Your total cost will be exactly 1.5%
of your adjusted annual household
income after income deductions.
This is a total cost, not a monthly
premium. You may pay your 1.5%
cost when you submit your
application, or you may make monthly
payments for one year. A $50
discount will be given if you send
your full 1.5% cost with your
application.
