Costs of Abortion. Metropolitan Family Clinic.
Cost is among many concerns for patients when it comes to negotiation means. This does not happen in the Metropolitan Family Planning Clinic (MFPC), as every patient is informed of the charges and the possible financial assistance that will be given in a bid to promote coherent care. In this post, we will provide details on how abortion costs at MFPC are actualized, the elements that make up such costs, and the various ways you can handle the variables about how the payments are made.
Costs of Abortion: Medical Abortion vs Surgical Abortion
Abortion charges at MFPC vary with the type of procedure to be carried out, the level of pregnancy, and case presentations.
Medical Abortion: A medical abortion (a.k.a Abortion Pills) is generally provided up to 11 weeks gestational age. In MFPC, the medical abortion fee ranges from 500 to 700 dollars. This amount covers the consultation, mifepristone, misoprostol medications, and up to six weeks of the procedure follow-ups.
Surgical abortion: The cost is determined by the age of the fetus. First Trimester Surgical abortions (up to 16 weeks) usually cost around 500 to 800 dollars. Pricing for surgical procedures after the first trimester can be anywhere from the lower range of 800 dollars to the higher range of 1200 dollars. These costs cover the procedure itself, anesthesia during the procedure, and six-week follow-up care after the procedure.
Abortion Costs: Services Included
At MFPC, our stronghold is service delivery in its entirety. Because patients pay for abortion services in our clinic, other important adjunct services are provided at no extra cost:
Medical Evaluation: To protect the patient’s health, certain routine blood and/or laboratory tests are often required before the procedure.
Sonogram (Ultrasound) on Request: An ultrasound is performed to establish the pregnancy’s progress and determine the next steps.
Medications: the fee for medical abortions also includes mifepristone and misoprostol. For surgical abortions, any medication that would be necessary for the relief of pain or prevention of an infection would also be charged.
Local Anesthesia and Antibiotics: Local anesthetic and prophylactic antibiotics for ADA, even for diagnosis or surgery, where necessary, are covered for surgery.
Follow-Up Exams: Follow-up care ensures that you heal properly. MFPC includes follow-up appointments for no more than six weeks after your procedure.
Metropolitan Family Clinic: Additional Costs
A few pockets of services may not be included within the base fees provided for abortion services. For example, RhoGam injections where a patient’s blood type is Rh-negative are considered necessary, and this will be an extra charge. An additional fee will be assessed for this service if you choose twilight sedation for a surgical abortion or a deeper level of sedation for a surgical procedure.
Metropolitan Family Clinic: Insurance and Financial Assistance
Most forms of health care insurance are acceptable if you visit MFPC. The doctor’s office has adopted the practice of patients having to confirm their provision for coverage before the appointed time. For some people or patients who want the clinic to be the venue for their abortion to be covered by insurance, to be covered by a copy of the insurance must be faxed to the clinic in advance since this process usually takes a few days.
Metropolitan Family Clinic: Financial Assistance
Financial assistance is possible for those without insurance or for whom it is hard to come up with the required amount of money. MFPC is in partnership with several funds and organizations that will provide assistance for expenses related to providing abortion services. Our resources are at your disposal to help you with the course.
