Have you and your girlfriend decided abortion is your pregnancy decision? You may still have questions and be concerned about the cost. This serious medical procedure comes with high costs, especially if your girlfriend doesn’t have health insurance.

It can be a stressful time, emotionally and financially. We want to offer you insight into abortion costs and whether your insurance will pay for your girlfriend’s abortion.

What Does Abortion Cost?

First, here’s an average of what a medical or surgical abortion may cost. If your girlfriend is in her first trimester and less than ten weeks pregnant, she may be considering a medical abortion. Medical abortion costs around $500 without insurance.

For women who are more than ten weeks along, a surgical abortion is their abortion option. This type of abortion requires local anesthesia and may cost anywhere from $500-$2,000+ without health insurance.

Other costs that come along with abortion include transportation, lodging, time off work, and child care. It’s important to consider all these additional costs to know what you can do financially.

Will My Insurance Cover My Girlfriend?

While it can be stressful to find coverage for your girlfriend right now, most insurance companies will not cover your girlfriend's abortion.

While insurance policies differ from state to state, most health insurance companies require legal obligations such as marriage or domestic partnership to offer coverage to more than just the policyholder.
