Claris offers the following medical, mental health, and support services. Click each box to learn more!
What: A urine pregnancy test is a reliable method of assessing pregnancy. The test looks for a hormone called HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin). The presence of this hormone typically indicates pregnancy and can be detected in the urine 10 days after fertilization and by blood 8 days after fertilization of the egg and attachment to the uterine wall. Most people schedule a urine pregnancy test around the time of a missed period. A blood test is not routinely performed to diagnose a pregnancy.
Who: Patients ages 12 years or older.
Cost: No cost for urine pregnancy testing. $10 for blood testing, if the blood test is deemed necessary by the clinician.

What: Ultrasound imaging can be used to detect and confirm a pregnancy. Claris Health offers limited obstetric ultrasound scans. These scans are not intended for diagnostic purposes but follow national AIUM (American Institute of Ultrasound Medicine) guidelines for limited first trimester ultrasounds and are used for the following medical purposes:
These are all important to determine after initially confirming a pregnancy with a urine or blood pregnancy test.
Who: Ultrasound scans are made available to patients who have a positive pregnancy test, are at least 6 weeks pregnant, and have not had a previous ultrasound.
Cost: No cost to qualifying patients

What: Prenatal and postpartum care is offered to patients who qualify for our program. We also offer group-based prenatal care, based on the Centering Pregnancy model, to qualifying patients at Claris’ Lynwood clinic facility. This model of prenatal care brings patients out of the exam room and into a group setting, which also helps build a community of support. Groups are typically formed with 4-10 women of different ages, races, and socio-economic backgrounds. Groups begin in their first trimester of pregnancy and include the standard 10 prenatal visits.
Who: Pregnant women who enroll during their first trimester of pregnancy. Patients must have Medi-Cal insurance or be willing to pay for lab and other testing services.
Why: There’s a reason why 96% of women prefer receiving their prenatal care in a Centering Group. You will have greater access to your provider, learn more about pregnancy, and be better equipped for birth within a supportive network of moms.
Cost: No cost for Medi-Cal patients. Contact us to check eligibility or to discuss payment options for non Medi-Cal patients.
