carafem expands care in Michigan with 24/7 telehealth abortion services

carafem is pleased to announce that we have launched telehealth abortion services in Michigan, expanding access to compassionate, personalized, convenient abortion care in the Great Lakes state and throughout the Midwest.

We began providing medication abortion via telehealth in 2017 and now offer comprehensive telehealth abortion care in 17 states across the United States. And we won’t stop until we can provide online abortion care in every state that allows it. Today, we’re one step closer to that goal.

Why Michigan?

By expanding into Michigan, we will reach more people who want and need abortion care in the Midwest, allowing us to serve clients not only from Michigan but also surrounding states like Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

Research shows that many people, especially those in rural areas, prefer telehealth for abortion care. In a recent study published in BMJ Journal of Public Health, 88% of carafem’s clients said they would choose telehealth services again, describing the experience as acceptable, convenient, and accessible.

“In our current environment, it’s essential to have multiple access points across the country so people can receive safe, effective, and compassionate abortion care,” said Melissa Grant, carafem’s Chief Operations Officer. “By adding Michigan to our list of states offering medication abortion via telehealth, we’re providing greater access, especially for people in rural communities and nearby states who need more options for care.”

How Can I Access Care in Michigan?

We offer two options for telehealth abortion services in Michigan so you can choose the one that best fits your preferences and needs.

Immediate Evaluations: You can begin an Immediate Evaluation form any time of day or night to find out instantly if you’re a candidate for medically-supported abortion pills at home. carafem’s Immediate Evaluation care includes a care package with your abortion medications, and you receive 24/7 text support through Cara and our team of medical professionals.

Video Visits: Some people feel more comfortable meeting with a clinician to walk through the process of an at-home medication abortion and ask questions in real time. So, we offer telehealth abortion care via video visits for those who want it. During the 30-minute video visit, you can also determine if you qualify for financial assistance.

You Deserve Great Abortion Care in Michigan

We believe every person deserves access to safe, private, compassionate abortion care—no matter their zip code, race, gender, ethnicity, physical ability, or income. And with 73% of people seeking abortion having incomes under the poverty line, we know that financial assistance is a huge part of making sure everyone who wants and needs abortion care can access it.

Our unique approach allows you to enter your financial information online, or discuss with a provider during a video visit, to find out if you qualify for funding assistance immediately. If approved, 30% or more of the cost of care is covered.
