Options for funding
Financial Assistance
We believe cost should never be a reason you can't get an abortion or reproductive healthcare with carafem.
No one should have to worry about affording an abortion
Cost should never be a barrier to receiving an abortion or reproductive healthcare. At carafem, we prioritize making care as affordable as possible by offering sliding scale fees based on income, accepting private insurance and Medicaid, and partnering with abortion funds that offer additional financial assistance.
Before scheduling your appointment
carafem partners with nearly 20 regional abortion funds who exist to provide financial support for people who cannot afford their abortion care. Below is a list of abortion funds, the states they serve, and instructions on how to contact them to request assistance. Review the list to see if there’s one that fits your circumstances.
When you schedule your appointment
carafem screens for financial support
When you choose carafem for your abortion care, we will screen you for funding from National Abortion Federation (NAF) and Women’s Reproductive Rights Assistance Project (WRRAP). The process for this varies by the type of appointment you schedule with us.
If you’re opting for abortion pills by mail through Immediate Evaluation, you will be automatically screened as part of the online evaluation process. No additional action needed!
If you’re having an in-person visit in one of our health centers or a video visit, please call us at (855) 729-2272 after scheduling your appointment to be screened for these funding sources.
There is no need for you to contact NAF or WRRAP directly.
Need additional support? Contact abortion funds directly before your appointment
If you still need help affording your abortion after we’ve screened you for national funding, you can contact one of the regional abortion funds below to request additional financial assistance. Please complete this step before your appointment with carafem. If you secure funding, the abortion fund will contact us directly to let us know.
At least one business day before your appointment
Some private insurance companies cover part or all of the cost of your in-person appointment with carafem. Call us at (855) 729-2272 at least one business day prior to your appointment with your insurance information so we can verify your coverage.
We also accept public insurance in select states. In Maryland and Illinois, we accept Medicaid for both telehealth and in-person abortion care.
Please reach out directly to a fund that can support you based on where you live or where you're receiving care. If you secure financial assistance, the abortion fund will let us know directly.
