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 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 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:
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.
