Medical Abortion Price:

Medical Abortion Price levels in the United States and Canada vary, but not tremendously. In the United States, a Medical Abortion is available at women’s health care centers, private clinics, and Planned Parenthood. The price ranges from about $350 to $610, depending on which medical tests are required. In Canada, the availability for a Medical Abortion is similar, but in some provinces the procedure is fully covered by the provincial health care plan. Prices usually range from $250 to $400 in areas where abortion is not covered by provincial health care.

Prices typically include: an initial appointment, which includes pregnancy test by blood and/or ultrasound, informed consent form, and STD tests if necessary, an injection of methotrexate or a dose of mifepristone in tablet form, a prostaglandin analog--a dose of misoprostol in tablet form, or gemeprost, taken within 72 hours of the previous medication, and a follow-up appointment to make sure the abortion was complete.

Before any abortion can be done, a medical professional must confirm that a woman is pregnant and determine how long she has been pregnant. The length of a pregnancy is usually measured by the number of days that have passed since the first day of the woman's last menstrual period. Medical abortions can be provided as early as a pregnancy can be confirmed. In fact, the shorter the time, the better the medications will work. Because they do not work well late in the first trimester of pregnancy, medical abortion is not usually an option after nine weeks or 63 days from the woman's last menstrual period.
