This means that if you seek the abortion pill, you would need to travel out-of-state and pay for the abortion out-of-pocket. Other expenses, including transportation, lodging, childcare, follow-up visits, and any emergency care, may be required.

Weighing your pregnancy options and learning about insurance coverage for abortion can feel confusing. We’ll clarify your concerns with factual, unbiased information.
