Planned Parenthood resumes billing Medicaid for certain services

Planned Parenthood is resuming billing Medicaid for services other than abortion after being cut off for most of a year.

According to the Associated Press, the defunding, which was mandated in President Donald Trump’s big tax and policy law last year, has been blamed in the closure of multiple clinics as well as a reduction in the number of Planned Parenthood patients being screened for breast cancer or tested for sexually transmitted infections.

The Medicaid billing was allowed to resume Sunday.
