If you’re experiencing an unexpected pregnancy, you probably have a lot of difficult questions regarding your options. Perhaps you’re considering the abortion pill, but are concerned about how much it costs. Does insurance cover the abortion pill? If not, what are the out-of-pocket costs? What about follow-up care if things go wrong?
Before you take the abortion pill, take time to get the facts! Keep reading to learn more about how much the abortion pill costs.

Most New York insurance plans do cover abortion, including Medicaid[1]. However, Medicare does not cover the abortion pill, though exceptions can be made in cases of incest, rape, or life endangerment to the mother[2].Â
It should be noted that New York insurance coverage only applies to New York residents. Non-residents may not qualify for coverage if they bought a health insurance plan in a state that has abortion restrictions[1].
Without insurance, the abortion pill costs between $500 to $800. Prices vary based on the dosage you need and the provider you purchase it from.
In addition to the upfront price of the abortion pill, you should also consider the cost of emergency or follow-up care if you experience any severe side effects:
We understand—an unexpected pregnancy can be one of the scariest times of a woman’s life. It’s easy to panic and make a snap decision. But you owe it to yourself to make an informed and empowered decision!
Before taking the abortion pill, we recommend receiving an ultrasound and exploring all of your pregnancy options!
Ultrasounds determine how far along you are in pregnancy (called your gestational age). This is important to know, as you can’t take the abortion pill beyond 10 weeks of pregnancy[6]. They can also verify if your pregnancy is viable (meaning, a heartbeat is detectable and the pregnancy is progressing normally). If your pregnancy isn’t viable, you won’t need an abortion and you can seek out the proper medical care.
Exploring each of your pregnancy options and considering the impact they could have on your life can help you make the best decision for your future! Pregnancy Help NYC is here to answer all of your questions regarding abortion, adoption, and parenting—all without judgment.Â
