Understanding The Cost of Abortion
The cost of an abortion varies based on several factors, including the type of procedure, the gestational age of the fetus, and the provider. According to Planned Parenthood’s national averages:
- A first-trimester abortion costs between $300 and $950.
- A second-trimester abortion costs between $1,200 and $2,100 or more.
Before Seeking An Abortion
There are 2 things to verify before scheduling an abortion: a positive pregnancy and a viable pregnancy. At Options Baltimore @328, we offer FREE lab quality pregnancy tests to confirm your pregnancy. If you are at least 7 weeks along in your pregnancy, we will offer you a FREE ultrasound to confirm if your baby is viable (living) and is in the uterus (as opposed to a tubal pregnancy).
You may be unaware that 20% of women experience natural miscarriage in the first trimester1 (first 12 weeks) of pregnancy, so an ultrasound is the first step prior to scheduling any medical procedure. Your risk can be best assessed through ultrasound.
Here are key factors that influence the cost:
- Health Insurance
- If you have health insurance, check with your provider to understand what your plan covers regarding abortion.
- Without health insurance, the out-of-pocket costs may be higher. Some government health insurance plans cover abortions, while others do not.
- Provider and Location
- Costs vary significantly from state to state and clinic to clinic. It’s essential to gather all relevant cost information from your chosen provider.
- Type of Abortion
- There are two main types of abortion: the abortion pill and surgical abortion. The cost depends on the procedure type.
- Gestational Age
- The cost of abortion increases with the progression of pregnancy.
