When facing an unplanned pregnancy, one common question is whether insurance will cover the cost of the abortion pill. For those in Florida, this concern is especially significant due to the state’s regulations on both abortion and insurance coverage.
While navigating this situation may seem complicated, Life Options Clinic is here to help. Contact us for free pregnancy services, information, and resources to support you during this challenging time.

Insurance and Medicaid Coverage
If you are not legally married to your partner and don’t have them listed, many insurance plans may not cover the cost of the abortion pill.
Florida’s Medicaid program does not cover abortion care, and state law further restricts coverage. For example, insurance plans sold through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace in Florida are prohibited from offering abortion coverage. These limitations often mean that many individuals seeking an abortion pill will need to pay the full cost out-of-pocket.
If you and your girlfriend are navigating this process, it’s important to be aware of these restrictions and plan accordingly.
Before an Abortion
While your mind might be racing about what you should do next, it’s critical to get some key details about your girlfriend’s pregnancy. This will help you both gain valuable insights into the specific options and routes available to you.
An ultrasound is a simple scan that can do this and also protect your girlfriend’s health. It will reveal the age of the pregnancy, check to see if it’s properly located in the uterus, and determine whether it’s progressing.
An ultrasound is one of the many free services we provide at Life Options Clinic. In addition to pregnancy services, we can also point you to community aid and resources you can use to help you move forward.
