The Presumptive Eligibility for Pregnant Women program allows qualified individuals immediate access to temporary, no cost Medi-Cal for conditions related to pregnancy while applying for permanent Medi-Cal or other coverage. The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is allowing telephonic signatures for Presumptive Eligibility for Pregnant Women. If the individual is not experiencing an urgent prenatal care event which requires immediate care, the individual can apply for Medi-Cal online using the Covered California portal.
