Where Can I Get an Abortion in Indianapolis, IN?

Understanding Abortion Access for Indianapolis Residents

Is It Legal for Indianapolis Residents to Travel to Illinois for Abortion Care?

Yes. Indiana law does not criminalize pregnant individuals for traveling to another state to receive abortion services. Illinois maintains some of the strongest reproductive healthcare protections in the Midwest, and Indianapolis residents are fully welcome to receive legal, confidential care at our Matteson clinic.

In Illinois:

• Abortion is legal throughout pregnancy
• No mandatory waiting periods apply
• No state-mandated biased counseling is required
• Patient privacy is protected by state and federal law
• Out-of-state patients receive the same legal protections as Illinois residents
• Medicaid covers abortion for eligible Illinois residents

Can Abortion Pills Be Shipped to an Indianapolis Address?

No. Indiana law prohibits the shipment of abortion medications to Indiana addresses. Indianapolis residents who choose medication abortion must travel to our Matteson clinic to receive medications in person, then return home to complete the process privately. This arrangement is completely legal — receiving care in Illinois and returning to Indiana is a protected right.

Your Two Options from Indianapolis

Option 1: Telehealth Consultation with In-Person Medication Pickup

This path allows Indianapolis residents to complete their initial consultation from home before making a single, planned trip to our Illinois clinic to receive their medications.

How it works:

Step 1 — Virtual Consultation Schedule a private video or phone appointment from your Indianapolis home. Meet with a licensed provider for 20 to 30 minutes. Complete your full medical evaluation and eligibility assessment without traveling.

Step 2 — Drive to Our Matteson Clinic Make one trip to collect your medications in person. The drive is approximately 2.5 hours on I-65 North — a manageable same-day trip that many Indianapolis patients complete on a Saturday morning.

Step 3 — Take Medications at Home Return to Indianapolis with complete written instructions, pain management medication, and 24/7 access to our medical support line. Take mifepristone when you arrive home. Take misoprostol 24 to 48 hours later.

Step 4 — Follow-Up Care Your follow-up appointment, scheduled one to two weeks later, can be completed via telehealth from Indianapolis. No second drive to Illinois required.

Who chooses this option:

• Prefer to consult from home before traveling
• Want to minimize time away from work or family
• Comfortable managing the medication process at home
• Up to 12 weeks pregnant

Option 2: Complete In-Person Care at Our Matteson, IL Clinic

Indianapolis residents who prefer a fully in-person medical experience can complete their entire appointment — consultation, ultrasound, and medication dispensing — in a single clinic visit.

Why Indianapolis patients choose in-person care:

• Prefer direct, face-to-face interaction with a medical provider
• Want ultrasound confirmation of gestational age before proceeding
• Feel more at ease in a clinical setting with staff present
• Option to take first medication at the clinic before departing

What’s included in your clinic visit:

• Private consultation with a licensed provider
• Ultrasound to confirm pregnancy and gestational age
• Complete medical history review
• All medications dispensed same day
• Detailed instructions for home use
• Pain management medication
• 24/7 support access
• Follow-up appointment (telehealth available)

Typical visit timeline: Morning appointment at our Matteson clinic — approximately 60 to 90 minutes. Return to Indianapolis the same day. Take misoprostol 24 to 48 hours later at home. Follow-up completed via telehealth one to two weeks later.

Both options include licensed medical providers, FDA-approved medications, complete instructions, and follow-up care.
