Abortion Costs

The cost of an abortion varies based on the following factors:

1. The type of procedure used – whether it is medical or surgical in nature.
2. Where the procedure is performed – costs vary from state to state.
3. Insurance/income (possible qualification for financial assistance).
4. How far along the pregnancy has progressed.

Costs for medical (chemical) abortions have been reported to be between $300 to $800. Costs are higher if there are complications.

The cost of a surgical abortion typically ranges from 0 to $3,275. Abortions performed in hospitals or in a physician’s office generally cost slightly more than those performed in an abortion clinic. Prices also increase as the pregnancy progresses. Out-of-pocket costs vary depending on a person’s insurance policy.
