Payment Information
Private Pay
Atlanta Women’s Medical Center is able to accommodate patients wishing to use health insurance to cover the cost of the abortion, as well as those paying out of pocket. Acceptable forms of payment are either cash (in the exact amount) or a credit card (with proper ID). AWMC does not accept money orders or personal checks. Fees are determined based on the gestational age of the pregnancy (by ultrasound), and may include anesthesia. Payment for services must be made on the day you receive health care services.
Our fees include all pre-op lab work and testing, ultrasound, counseling, birth control (for eligible women), the procedure itself (with anesthesia if needed or desired), as well as a check-up and any additional follow-up care. The only additional fee charged is the cost of a dose of Rhogam for women with an Rh negative blood type (our phones counselors will be happy to give you more information about Rhogam is you are unsure of your blood type). In addition, we offer a 3-month contraceptive shot (similar to Depo-Provera), that may be given on your procedure day. There is an additional fee for this type of birth control.
Financial Assistance
Special funding is available for women in need. Patients having financial difficulty are encouraged to speak with a phone counselor about possible sources of funding, such as the Justice Fund. Atlanta Women's Medical Center is able to help most women in need. Please let us know as soon as possible if you think you may need assistance -- we're here to help.
Insurance
Those patients wishing to use insurance will need to provide all necessary insurance information prior to the scheduled abortion, and will usually be responsible for a co-pay or deductible. Atlanta Women’s Medical Center accepts a number of insurance carriers, including:
- Aetna/US Healthcare
- Coventry
- Kaiser
- BC/BS
These carriers are all private insurance plans, usually obtained through an employer. Most plans will cover elective abortion, but not all – patients are encouraged to contact their member services department for more information. All insurance benefits will be verified prior to the scheduled procedure. Any patient wishing to use insurance must provide a current insurance card and valid phone ID. Patients must call the afternoon before the scheduled abortion appointment to confirm benefits with Atlanta Women’s Center – they will be instructed on the amount of their financial responsibility at this time.
