Planned Parenthood and two other affected health providers regained access to federal Medicaid reimbursements on July 4, 2026, after a one-year defunding provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act expired — ending a funding interruption that resulted in the closure of 20 Planned Parenthood clinics across the country, according to a report the organization released this week.
The defunding provision, signed into law on July 4, 2025, barred Medicaid reimbursements to certain large health providers that also perform abortions and receive more than $800,000 annually in Medicaid funds. Three organizations were affected: Planned Parenthood, Health Imperatives in Massachusetts, and Maine Family Planning.
