Access for Infants and Mothers

Who is eligible for AIM?

Pregnant women who:

• are not more than 30 weeks pregnant
• have lived in California for the last six months
• do not have maternity insurance OR have a separate maternity deductible or co-payment of more than $500
• have a family income (this or last year) that is too high to qualify for no-cost Medi-Cal

The statewide Access for Infants and Mothers (AIM) Program provides affordable health care insurance for moderate-income pregnant women who do not have insurance coverage for their pregnancy, or who have policies with a high maternity deductible. Through the AIM Program, comprehensive health insurance coverage is provided for the pregnant woman until 60 days after her pregnancy ends, and her baby is covered for up to two years. Participants become subscribers of a designated health plan and receive their care from local providers.

The California Health Collaborative operates the AIM Outreach Project in the 50 counties of Northern and Central California. Noted below is a summary of the key community outreach, public awareness and support activities that are provided free of charge through the AIM Outreach Project:

AIM Helpline
Accessible to callers from the Northern and Central California region, the toll-free AIM Helpline, 800-300- 1031, offers program information, eligibility screening and application assistance.

AIM Continuing Education (CE) Workshops
Licensed insurance agents earn two CE credits at an informative two-hour session.

Public Awareness and Community Outreach Activities and Support
Presentations and training sessions for health care providers, employers and community groups that consist of AIM Program education and tips, tools and materials to support community wellness and the use of AIM to attract new clients and help existing ones.
