Telehealth vs. Face-to-Face Abortion.
Abortion care has evolved. Today, many patients can choose between a telehealth abortion or a traditional face-to-face appointment, and both are safe, legal, and supported by MFPC.
So, how do you decide which is best for you?
Telehealth vs. Face-to-Face Abortion: What Is a Telehealth Abortion?
A telehealth medical abortion allows you to consult with a licensed provider remotely, then receive the abortion pills by mail or pick them up in person. At MFPC, we guide you through every step, providing support, instructions, and 24/7 access to care.
Best for patients who:
- Prefer privacy at home
- Can confirm their pregnancy is under 10 weeks
- Have reliable mail access and a safe space to complete the process
- Want a discreet, low-contact option
Telehealth vs. Face-to-Face Abortion: What Happens During a Face-to-Face Medical Abortion?
In-clinic abortion care includes an ultrasound, labs, and one-on-one counseling before taking the first pill (Mifepristone). The second pill (Misoprostol) is taken at home, with instructions from your provider.
Ideal for patients who:
- Want more in-person support
- Need confirmation of gestational age
- Feel more comfortable with hands-on care
- Prefer to take the first dose in a medical setting
