Abortion Costs

The overall expense of an abortion is influenced by the chosen method and the developmental stage of the fetus, both of which are determined by how far along the pregnancy is. Generally, the cost increases as the pregnancy advances. Additionally, the fees can differ depending on the healthcare provider. Typically, clinics and private practitioners may offer more affordable rates compared to hospitals. The specific cost also hinges on the type of abortion procedure selected. Here are the estimated costs for various procedures in of January 2024:

The cost of an abortion can vary depending on several factors, including:

Type of abortion: Medication abortion (abortion pill) is generally less expensive than in-clinic procedures like suction aspiration or dilation and evacuation (D&E).
Stage of pregnancy: The further along you are in your pregnancy, the more likely it is that you’ll need a D&E, which is more expensive than earlier procedures.
Clinic or provider: Different clinics and providers charge different fees.
Your insurance coverage: Some health insurance plans cover abortion, while others don’t. If your insurance covers abortion, the out-of-pocket cost will be lower.

Here’s a general estimate of abortion costs:

Medication abortion: $500 to $800
Suction aspiration (first trimester): $475 to $1,500
D&E (second trimester): $1,500 to $4,000 or more

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Do I need an appointment at a local pregnancy center?

Answer: Walk-ins are welcome. However, it is best to make an appointment to minimize your office wait time.

Question: How much do pregnancy centers charge?

Answer: All services are free and confidential.

Question: What should I expect when I visit my local pregnancy help center?

Answer: Upon your arrival, a friendly receptionist will guide you to meet your client advocate. This advocate will offer you a judgment-free space to talk, followed by essential information and a pregnancy test. In the event of a positive test result, a dedicated medical professional will perform a limited ultrasound to verify the pregnancy's viability and estimate the age of the fetus.

Question: How long after sex does it take for a pregnancy test to work?

Answer: Pregnancy tests can be performed 7 to 10 days after conception. A client with a negative result may be invited to return within 2 weeks for a repeat test if she has not had her period.

If you have taken a home pregnancy test, you may want to confirm results with a laboratory-quality test at your local pregnancy center. These pregnancy tests detect HCg levels within 7 to 10 after conception.

Question: Will you tell anyone about my visit to the pregnancy center?

Answer: Pregnancy centers maintain a rigorous privacy and confidentiality policy. Clients' information is safeguarded against unauthorized disclosure, respecting their right to privacy, except in instances mandated by law. This includes situations necessary for public health, preventing harm to the client or others, or in specific circumstances where the use or disclosure of information is justified without prior consent, such as in cases of abuse reporting or suicide/homicide prevention.

Question: When should I schedule an appointment at the pregnancy center?

Answer: High-quality, medical-grade pregnancy tests are capable of detecting pregnancy from the first day after your initial missed period. We advise scheduling an appointment if you've missed a period, have any queries related to pregnancy, or suspect that you might be pregnant.

Question: How far along do I have to be to get a free ultrasound?

Answer: After an initial consultation with a client advocate, many pregnancy centers offer on-site ultrasound scans. These limited ultrasounds are conducted by a licensed nurse sonographer or a registered diagnostic medical sonographer (RDMS) and are subsequently reviewed by a licensed physician. The purpose of an ultrasound is to confirm the viability of the pregnancy and to establish the gestational age.

Question: I already know I'm pregnant and I want an abortion, what's next?

Answer: It is advisable to have an ultrasound to confirm the viability of your pregnancy and to ensure it is located within the uterus, as 20% to 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Moreover, the ultrasound helps in determining the stage of your pregnancy, which is essential in making an informed decision about the type of abortion procedure you may consider. Many pregnancy centers offer a limited ultrasound free of charge.
