The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) is investing $4 million in Medicaid family planning programming. The funding will go towards critical services that many Illinoisans rely on, like contraception, sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing and treatment, and cancer screenings. Planned Parenthood provided services for nearly 35,000 Illinois Medicaid customers across the state in 2024 and Illinois received approximately $4 million in federal Medicaid reimbursement for family planning services delivered to Medicaid customers at Planned Parenthood of Illinois (PPIL) clinics.  Abortions are not paid for with federal dollars and are covered on State Medicaid plans with state funds. Planned Parenthood of Illinois operates 13 health centers across the state and has continued to serve Medicaid patients while legal challenges have proceeded, providing high-quality reproductive healthcare services and medically accurate sexual health education.
