3. Does my insurance cover abortion?
Most insurance plans cover abortion; however, in order to determine whether your policy actually covers this medical expense, you will need to call your insurance company or plan administrator to find out your benefits for abortion services. Please be sure to ask your insurance provider if you have a deductible or a co-pay so that you can be prepared for that expense. Depending on your policy, it may be necessary to obtain a referral from a primary care physician before setting up an abortion appointment.
Please be aware that if you choose to have your insurance company cover this medical expense, your insurance company may send a statement to the billing address on your insurance policy. If you are not the primary subscriber on your insurance plan, the primary subscriber may find out about your abortion.
We are contracted with several insurance companies: Blue Choice and the State of Georgia health plan as well as other insurance plans will cover an abortion at our clinic -- however, our insurance department must verify your coverage in advance of your appointment.
So when you call for an appointment at our Cliff Valley Clinic, our insurance department will verify your insurance coverage in advance of your appointment. If you happen to determine that your insurance policy covers abortion care after you schedule your appointment but prior to your appointment, you can still call to get your insurance verified.
When you come in for your appointment, you will need to bring in your insurance card and a valid picture identification card to complete the verification process. Also, if your policy requires it, you may need a referral or payment for the deductible or co-pay by a money order; a Master Card, VISA, or American Express credit card; or a debit card with a Master Card, VISA or American Express logo.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to call one of our phone counselors at 404-728-7900 or
