Health insurance is unlikely to cover your girlfriend’s abortion. Most plans only extend coverage to spouses, legal partners, or dependents. In Alabama, many insurers also limit abortion coverage to cases where the pregnant woman’s life is at risk.
This does not mean that there are no resources available for learning more about your girlfriend’s pregnancy and options. At Safe Harbor Medical Clinic, we provide no-cost services, including pregnancy testing and limited ultrasounds, to help cover pregnancy-related costs.
We also offer options consultations to discuss available options. Schedule a confidential appointment today to learn more.
Your First Step
Before anything else, a prudent first step is confirming the pregnancy with a positive pregnancy test.
We offer no-cost, lab-quality pregnancy testing. If the result is positive, we also provide free limited ultrasounds to determine how far along the pregnancy is. This information can help you better understand your decision-making timeline.
An ultrasound can also clarify which options your girlfriend may be eligible for. For example, medical abortion is only FDA-approved through 10 weeks of gestational age.
It can also confirm the location of the pregnancy. This is an important detail to confirm a pregnancy because if located outside the uterus, an ectopic pregnancy is a serious medical condition and not eligible for an elective abortion.
Where Can We Get No-Cost Pregnancy Health Insurance?
Your partner may qualify for Medicaid if her income falls below a certain threshold. Alabama Medicaid provides full coverage for pregnant women through 12 months postpartum.
