Is your girlfriend considering an abortion and struggling to figure out how to cover the costs? There are high out-of-pocket costs for an abortion, no matter if she’s considering medical or surgical abortion. 

If you’re wondering if your insurance will cover your girlfriend’s abortion, know that most of the time, health insurance does NOT cover your partner unless you are married.

Insurance Coverage for My Girlfriend

Insurance companies typically don’t cover a partner on a policy unless they are a spouse or a domestic partner. There needs to be a financial or legal obligation to extend coverage. Contact your health insurance provider for more updated information about your insurance coverage.

Out-of-Pocket Costs

Out-of-pocket abortion costs can be high, especially if your girlfriend doesn’t have health insurance. In addition to the cost of your abortion procedure, she should consider other medical costs like the following:

  • Any necessary pre-abortion screenings
  • Emergency medical treatment in case of abortion complications
  • Travel costs 
  • Time off work costs
  • Medications or anesthesia costs 
  • Abortion follow-up appointments

Before an Abortion 

Pregnancy testing and an ultrasound are essential for safeguarding your girlfriend’s health. She should go through a couple of steps of pregnancy confirmation to determine where her pregnancy stands and whether she’s eligible for an abortion.

At Azar House, we do not perform or refer for abortion, but we offer lab-quality urine pregnancy testing at no cost. These tests only take a few minutes, and you will receive your results during your appointment. If you receive a positive pregnancy test with us, we also offer limited obstetrical ultrasounds.

Once your girlfriend has confirmed her pregnancy details, she can also receive free and confidential options education so she can make an informed pregnancy decision. Contact us today to get answers.
