Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains announced Wednesday that it will immediately resume scheduling appointments for patients enrolled in Medicaid.

The organization was forced to halt services earlier this month to those patients due to the signing of federal tax and spending legislation by President Donald Trump.

The budget bill barred Planned Parenthood from the federal Medicaid program.

Following the signing of the bill, PPRM notified approximately 15,000 patients — about 25% of its patient base — that they could no longer receive care at PPRM facilities, according to CEO Adrienne Mansanares.

The organization said a temporary restraining order issued on July 7 allows PPRM to resume services, at least for now.

That restraining order is set to expire on July 21, just a few days away.

The Planned Parenthood Federation of America is seeking a permanent injunction on behalf of its affiliates.

“We are relieved to once again open our doors to Medicaid patients — but this is only a temporary fix,” said Mansanares in a news release. “We know how frustrating and destabilizing it is for our communities to see Medicaid access expand one day and contract the next. It’s a rollercoaster no patient or provider should have to endure. But when those windows of opportunity open, we are committed to showing up and providing care for as many Medicaid patients as we can, for as long as possible.”

PPRM oversees 18 health centers in Colorado and New Mexico and provides care such as birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, abortion care and gender-affirming care to people in those states and Wyoming.

“Our call center has been flooded with desperate voices — people pleading for care they can’t get anywhere else,” Mansanares said. “This injustice has not only hurt patients — it’s destabilized public health systems and community trust. We are working tirelessly with our partners, legal counsel, and our state Medicaid office to fight for a long-term solution that protects access to care.”
