If you have recently discovered that your girlfriend is pregnant, you are probably feeling everything from surprise to the urge to find a solution as quickly as possible.
Insurance is unlikely to cover your girlfriend’s abortion if there is no legal obligation between you. Typically, insurance only covers spouses (or those in a civil union) or dependents.
However, the good news is that there are many resources to help couples facing these kinds of unexpected challenges. At Dove Medical, we provide no-cost pregnancy services, including tests and ultrasounds, to help ease the financial burden.
Take the First Step
Remember that she will not deliver a baby tomorrow, so you don’t have to find a solution right away. Right now, she is especially vulnerable emotionally and physically, so do your best to be a calm, supportive presence.
If you haven’t already, have her confirm her pregnancy with a positive pregnancy test. These are available at our center for no charge.
Once the pregnancy is confirmed, we offer free, limited obstetric ultrasounds to verify the gestational age.
Where Can We Get No-Cost Pregnancy Health Insurance?
Depending on her income, your partner might be eligible for free Medicaid, which covers many pregnancy-related healthcare expenses from now up to 12 months post-delivery.
Schedule an Appointment
At Dove Medical, we offer free pregnancy services, including pregnancy tests and ultrasounds, so you and your girlfriend can learn more about your pregnancy, which can affect available options.
For example, an ultrasound reveals the age of the pregnancy. This is important information because the abortion pill is only FDA-approved through 70 days of gestational age.
We are here to provide evidence-based education and local resources so you and your partner can have informed discussions and feel empowered in your decision. Get in touch with us today!
Dove Medical offers pregnancy diagnosis, decision coaching, and accurate information about all pregnancy options; however, we do not refer for or perform abortion services, including the abortion pill.
