Medicaid Returns to Planned Parenthood

Medicaid access for reproductive health services is set to return in Southwest Ohio as a federal ban expires July 3rd, restoring care for nearly 22,000 patients across 23 counties. Planned Parenthood facilities in the region, previously forced to stop accepting Medicaid in September 2025 due to a 2025 federal law blocking funds for providers offering abortion services, will resume coverage for preventive care like birth control, STI testing, and cancer screenings. Leaders from both Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio and Greater Ohio warn the restriction severely harmed communities, with Medicaid still excluding abortion services. This rollback marks a critical step toward rebuilding healthcare access for Ohioans. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
