Medicaid Abortion Coverage.
When seeking abortion care in Washington, DC, it’s normal to have questions about insurance, costs, and what’s included in your visit. At MFPC, we want patients to feel prepared and informed before their appointment.
Medicaid Abortion Coverage Includes the Following
Most abortion fees cover the basics of your medical care. This typically includes:
- Ultrasound to confirm gestational age
- Lab work
- Counseling session
- Administration of the abortion pill (if early pregnancy) or in-office procedure (if later)
- Follow-up instructions and access to a 24/7 aftercare line
Medicaid Abortion Coverage: What Is Not Always Included?
Some services may come with additional charges, depending on your specific medical needs. These might include:
- RhoGam injection (for Rh-negative patients)
- IV or twilight sedation during in-clinic procedures
- Pregnancy confirmation documentation is required for legal or personal reasons
- Additional follow-up appointments, if complications arise
It’s essential to ask in advance so there are no surprises. Our staff will explain any extra costs upfront.
