What if I can’t afford abortion pills right now?

If you cannot afford abortion pills right now, do not delay your care—financial help is available. At Serenity Choice Health, we offer payment plans, financial assistance, and can help you apply for Illinois Medicaid coverage that may make your abortion free. Cost should never be a barrier to safe, confidential abortion care, and our team is here to help you access the care you need regardless of your financial situation .

First: Ask About Financial Assistance When You Call

The most important step is simply to ask. When you contact Serenity Choice Health, tell our team that you need help paying for your abortion. We offer:

• Payment plans that allow you to spread the cost over time

• Sliding scale fees based on your income

• Financial assistance programs for qualifying patients

• No one is turned away because of inability to pay 

At Serenity Choice Health, we proudly accept Illinois Medicaid, and if you have active coverage, your abortion will be free . Even if you do not currently have Medicaid, our team members can help you understand whether you qualify and how to apply for coverage that may make your care no-cost .

If You Have or Qualify for Illinois Medicaid, Your Abortion Is Free

Illinois is a leading state for reproductive health access, and both of its Medicaid programs cover abortion pills and in-clinic abortions . At Serenity Choice Health, we accept Illinois Medicaid, and qualifying patients receive no-cost care .

The specific Illinois Medicaid programs that cover abortion include:

• Medicaid Presumptive Eligibility (MPE): Provides temporary, same-day coverage for pregnancy-related outpatient care, including abortion 

• Moms & Babies: Cares for pregnancy and for 12 months after, no matter how the pregnancy ends—whether by birth, miscarriage, or abortion 

What If You Do Not Have Medicaid but Might Qualify

Even if you do not currently have Medicaid, you may still qualify for no-cost coverage. At Serenity Choice Health, our team members can help you:

• Understand whether you qualify for Illinois Medicaid

• Complete a Medicaid application

• Get coverage the same day in many cases 

To qualify for Illinois Medicaid for abortion care, you must live in Illinois. Eligibility depends on your income and household size, and if you are pregnant, Medicaid will count your pregnancy as an extra person in your household .

Key facts about Illinois Medicaid for abortion care:

• People under 18 can apply for Illinois Medicaid, even if their parents have private insurance 

• People who are undocumented can still get services through Medicaid Presumptive Eligibility (MPE) 

• Some clinics, including Serenity Choice Health, can accept your Medicaid application while it is still being processed 

Abortion Funds Can Provide Additional Help

If you are not eligible for Illinois Medicaid or still need help with costs, abortion funds can provide financial assistance. These organizations help pay for abortion care and, in some cases, travel expenses:

• Chicago Abortion Fund can help pay for your appointment and travel if you are getting an abortion in Illinois 

• Midwest Access Coalition helps with travel costs including lodging, transportation, food, and childcare for those coming to or traveling within Illinois for an abortion 

• National Abortion Federation (NAF) provides financial assistance for abortion care nationwide

When you call Serenity Choice Health, ask our team about connecting you with these funding organizations. Many patients receive very generous financial assistance from these groups .

Do Not Delay Your Care Because of Cost

One of the biggest worries for people seeking abortion care is cost, but delaying care can have serious consequences. As pregnancy advances, abortion options may change and costs may increase. The team at Serenity Choice Health is experienced at helping patients access affordable care quickly .

Remember: We do not want you to delay your care for financial reasons. Please let our staff know if you need help paying for your abortion .
