Abortion Pill Cost

Abortion Pill Cost

Facing an unplanned pregnancy brings many questions, especially about abortion pill cost and medical abortion pricing. Understanding the financial aspects of the abortion pill, including insurance coverage and out-of-pocket expenses, is crucial for making an informed decision about your pregnancy options.

Before making any decisions about medical abortion, it’s important to gather all the facts about abortion pill costs, requirements and alternatives available to you.

Does Insurance Cover the Abortion Pill in Colorado?

With the passing of Amendment 79, private Colorado health insurance providers are now required to cover abortion services.[1]  On January 1, 2026, a new law will require Colorado Medicaid and other publicly funded health insurance plans to cover abortion services.
However, if you are uninsured, you may have to pay out-of-pocket for the abortion pill.

How Much Does the Abortion Pill Cost Without Insurance? 

The abortion pill can cost between $150 and $1,100 without insurance.[2] Prices vary based on:

  • Geographic location and local medical abortion costs
  • Individual healthcare provider pricing
  • Required follow-up appointments and care
  • Additional medications or services needed

Additional Abortion Pill Costs to Consider

Aside from the abortion pill itself, you’ll also need to consider the cost of:

  • Care that you may need before taking the abortion pill, such as an ultrasound
  • Time off work for the procedure and recovery
  • Follow-up care if complications arise or the medical abortion is incomplete

Essential Steps Before Taking the Abortion Pill

An unplanned pregnancy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate this alone. Making an empowered decision about your pregnancy requires careful consideration and proper medical evaluation.

Before proceeding with medical abortion, take these important steps:

Get an Ultrasound

An ultrasound is crucial before any abortion pill procedure because it provides essential information about your pregnancy:

  • Viability: An ultrasound determines if your pregnancy is viable and progressing normally. This helps rule out miscarriage in progress or ectopic pregnancy, conditions where medical abortion wouldn’t be appropriate or necessary.

  • Gestational Age: Knowing exactly how far along you are is critical because the abortion pill is only FDA-approved for pregnancies up to 10 weeks gestation.[3]
