Is your partner considering abortion but not sure if she can do it financially? Are you wondering whether your insurance covers the procedure?
Here is more information about insurance coverage when it comes to your partner. Typically, your partner must be a legal spouse for your insurance to extend coverage.
Insurance Coverage for Your Partner
Insurance doesn’t typically cover a partner on a policy unless they are a spouse, as there usually must be a financial/legal obligation to extend coverage.
Talk to your health insurance provider for more information about your personal insurance coverage.
Abortion Costs
If your partner does pay out-of-pocket for an abortion, the costs can be high.
Along with the abortion procedure, there are other costs to factor in as well. Here are the costs to consider:
- Any necessary pre-abortion screenings
- Emergency medical treatment in case of abortion complications
- Travel costs
- Time off work
- Medications or anesthesia costs
- Abortion follow-up appointments
Before an Abortion
Along with positive pregnancy testing, getting an ultrasound is vital to safeguard your partner’s health. An ultrasound will also confirm her pregnancy options. Three details of pregnancy confirmed by an ultrasound include:
1. Viability (detects the heartbeat and if the pregnancy is progressing)
2. Location of pregnancy (whether it’s growing within the uterus or not)
3. How far along you are (gestational age)
An ultrasound can alert you and your partner to any potential pregnancy complications. The Cleveland Clinic shares that “between 10% and 20% of all known pregnancies end in miscarriage.”
