Prenatal Care Guidance Program (PCG)

Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (MCAH)

Prenatal Care Guidance (PCG) is a County-funded program that is operated through the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (MCAH) Program.

The purpose of PCG is to provide outreach to low-income pregnant women to inform, motivate, and assist them in obtaining early, consistent, and appropriate prenatal care. This can decrease the incidence of low birth weight infants and improve pregnancy outcomes. A list of obstetrical care providers within the community is maintained for clients needing help with obtaining a care provider.

A pregnant woman can access the PCG program by placing a call to the Toll-Free Health Referral Line at 1-800-564-8448 for assistance in applying for pregnancy related Medi-Cal benefits or obtain a positive pregnancy test at one of our pregnancy testing clinics.

To obtain more information about the Physician Referral List or to become a PCG provider and have your name and practice listed, please call the Comprehensive Perinatal Services Coordinator (CPSP) at 714-834-8227.
