Yes, you can take abortion pills without seeing a doctor in person by using Telehealth Abortion Care. In Illinois, laws allow licensed providers to consult with you via phone or video, verify your eligibility, and prescribe the medication. The pills are then shipped discreetly to your door or made available for local pickup, allowing you to manage the process safely and privately from your own home.
How Virtual Care Works
At Serenity Choice Health, we’ve streamlined the process to make it as accessible as possible while maintaining high medical standards:
-
Online Consultation: You complete a medical screening form and have a virtual meeting with a licensed clinician to review your health history and confirm you are within the 12-week limit.
-
No Ultrasound Required: For most patients with a clear medical history and known dates, an in-person ultrasound is not a mandatory requirement to receive the pills.
-
Discreet Shipping: Your medications are sent in plain, unmarked packaging to protect your privacy. No one will know the contents of the package but you.
Is It Safe to Do This at Home?
Yes. Decades of research and use by millions of people worldwide have proven that taking abortion pills at home is a safe and private experience.
-
Medical Supervision: Even though you aren’t in a clinic, you are under medical care. Our team provides detailed instructions on the medication abortion process and what to expect regarding cramping and pain.
-
24/7 Support: You have access to a clinical support line at all times. If you have questions about heavy bleeding or side effects, a medical professional is just a call away.
-
Hormonal Transition: We guide you through the hormonal transition following the procedure to ensure your body is recovering correctly.
Eligibility and Financial Aid
To use our telehealth services, you must be physically located in Illinois or New York at the time of your virtual appointment and be at least 18 years old.
We also believe that your location or financial situation shouldn’t stop you from getting care. We offer free abortion pill services for those who qualify based on financial need, and we accept Illinois Medicaid to cover the costs of your care.
