As your partner considers her pregnancy options, the topic of insurance may have surfaced. If she’s considering abortion, it’s important to understand what exactly would be covered under your plan.

Keep reading to learn whether your insurance coverage would apply to this situation.

Insurance Plans and Abortion

In short, your insurance plan would most likely not cover your partner’s abortion if she is not a dependent (i.e., a spouse). Those expenses must be covered by her own plan or out-of-pocket.

Moreover, if she has Georgia Medicaid, abortions are covered only for cases of rape, incest, and life endangerment.

In addition to considering potential expenses for an abortion procedure, your partner needs to protect her health and safety. This can be done by scheduling an ultrasound and reviewing each of her options thoroughly.

Making an Informed Decision

Sound Choices Pregnancy Clinic will walk you and your partner through all her pregnancy options, offering unbiased information. Though we don’t provide or refer for abortions, our advocates will help her make an educated decision.

Before your partner makes a final decision, she should have an ultrasound to confirm her pregnancy. This scan will tell her whether the pregnancy is progressing, where it is located, and how far along she is.

Knowing how far along she is will help your partner to learn more about her options. For example, medical abortion is FDA-approved through 10 weeks gestation only. Abortion in Georgia is also banned after six weeks gestation except for specific situations of rape, incest, or medical emergencies, and it’s critical to be aware of those restrictions.

We offer limited ultrasounds so your partner knows her pregnancy details. We’ll also review the risks and side effects of abortion, as well as address her other options so she can feel confident about her next steps.

Getting all the information possible will provide clarity and reassurance during the decision-making process. We’re here to help.
