What do you do if your girlfriend isn’t covered by your insurance for abortion? Abortion comes with high out-of-pocket costs, including costs like time off work and possible recovery needs. Typically, your insurance will not cover your girlfriend’s abortion unless you are legally married.
Insurance Coverage for My Girlfriend
Most health insurance companies do not cover partners on a policy unless they are spouses or domestic partners. To extend health coverage, you must have a financial or legal obligation.
Speak with your health insurance provider for the most current information about your specific insurance coverage. They will be able to provide better clarity for your unique policy.
Out-of-Pocket Costs
If your partner is not covered under your insurance and without health insurance, she may have to pay the full abortion cost along with other costs. Out-of-pocket abortion costs can be high, along with other medical costs like the following:
- 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
