The cost of an abortion ranges depending on many factors, such as how far along the pregnancy is, the kind of facility you use (clinic, physician's office, or hospital), and the kind of procedure used. 1 Hospitals generally cost more than health centers. At health centers, such as Planned Parenthood, the fee ranges from about $225 to $575 for an abortion in the first trimester. 2 Abortions that are done later in pregnancy are more expensive.
Read your policy carefully. Some policies don't cover abortion services.
Call the National Abortion Federation hotline at (800) 772-9100 to find out whether Medicaid covers abortion in your state. If it does, the hotline operator can give you the names of facilities that accept Medicaid payment.
Some facilities have funds to help cover abortions for women who can't pay. Also, the National Abortion Federation hotline operators at (800) 772-9100 can sometimes help find funding sources.
The cost increases the further along in the pregnancy is Within the first 8 weeks, the cost will be limited to the cost of medicine, and possibly some pain medicine dealing with cramps. After 8 weeks, you'll need a doctor to go in. The doctor's time will need to be paid for as well as drugs to relax you, room time, and cleaning up. So the cost is what you might expect from a short hospital visit to get stitches in a cut.
Some contributors have said that in their experience it cost about $250 or $450 (including the abortion, birth control pills and/or shot, counseling, and antibiotics) without insurance.
Apparently it can cost anywhere from $200 to $1,000 depending upon age and how far along you are. Most U.S. states require insurance companies cover it, so if you, your partner, or your parents have insurance, it may cost nothing.
In Canada, provincial health insurance may cover it depending on what province you are in.
Whatever you do, don't go to a back alley butcher (or barber). Do-it-yourself abortions are also equally dangerous and, worse, often unsuccessful.
- Anywhere from $300 and up.
- Mine cost $460. I went to a clinic with a student discount, although I got the impression that this was their standard fee. This is something that you don't want to skimp on, so go to a clinic that costs as much as you can afford. Don't go to the cheapest out there just to save some $.
- It depends on your income. It can cost anywhere from free to around $1200.00 depending on where you go. If you are low-income and are lacking insurance, you may be able to get help from the state or places like Planned Parenthood. If you have health insurance and an abortion (also called a "pregnancy termination") is covered on your health plan, you may only have to pay an office visit co-pay or a deductible. Hope this helps!
- The best way to research birth control pill cost is to go online or call planned parenthood and apply for the financial aid... That said, My friend's abortion cost $200,The cost depends upon the income of you or your parents if you are under the age of 18. It also depends upon how far along you may be. You may take the pill if you are under 14 weeks and that costs a lot less than the other procedure which may have to be utilized if you are farther along.
