Are you wondering whether insurance covers your girlfriend’s abortion? Most of the time, insurance will not pay for your girlfriend’s abortion unless you are legally married. Abortion out-of-pocket costs can be quite high, so you may want to explore all your pregnancy options.
Abortion Insurance Coverage in North Carolina
Are you wondering if your girlfriend will be covered under your insurance plan in North Carolina? The short answer is no.
Most health insurance will NOT cover any of your girlfriend’s medical costs, including abortion. Insurance plans allow dependents to be added, but only if you are legally married.
In North Carolina, public and private insurers are restricted from covering abortion in health plans. If your girlfriend does not have insurance coverage, she may have to cover all of the out-of-pocket abortion costs, travel costs, time off work, and more.
Safeguard Your Girlfriend’s Health
There are a couple of steps to protect your girlfriend’s health as she makes a pregnancy decision. Be sure she understands her pregnancy details with pregnancy testing and an ultrasound.
If she receives a positive pregnancy test, it’s crucial to have an ultrasound, especially before an abortion. Ultrasound will confirm three vital details of her pregnancy, including:
- Viability (if the pregnancy has a heartbeat and is progressing)
- Location (if the pregnancy is located within the uterus)
- How far along she is (gestational age)
