How much does an abortion cost in Illinois?
Abortion pill prices in Illinois range from $0 with insurance to $499, depending on your provider, location, and financial assistance options. However, the cost of a medication abortion in Illinois can be lower with insurance or through a virtual provider like Hey Jane.
Will my insurance cover an abortion in Illinois?
Most likely, yes! Most health insurance plans in Illinois, including Medicaid, cover abortion care. In fact, Illinois Medicaid plans such as Blue Cross Community Health Plans, CountyCare Health Plan, Meridian Health Plan, Molina Healthcare, and others cover 100% of treatment costs in most cases.
Hey Jane accepts Aetna, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Illinois Medicaid, Oscar, and Sana Benefits plans in Illinois to cover the cost of abortion pills.
Illinois is one of the few states that use its own funds to ensure its Medicaid program covers abortion care so there should be no out-of-pocket expenses for patients. All Illinois Medicaid plans are required to cover medication and procedural abortions.
Illinois has two Medicaid health insurance programs for pregnant people that provide abortion coverage, including:
- Medicaid Presumptive Eligibility (MPE): Offers immediate, temporary coverage for outpatient services for pregnant people.
- Moms & Babies: Offers coverage for people while they are pregnant and for 12 months after the baby is born—regardless of whether the pregnancy ended as a result of birth, miscarriage, or abortion.
How to confirm your Medicaid plan covers abortion
Illinois requires all state Medicaid plans to cover abortion care. Want to learn more? Here are the steps you can take:
- Review Illinois state policies: Go to the state’s Medicaid website to see details about how Illinois offers state funding to cover abortion care beyond the Hyde exceptions.
- Reach out to your Medicaid provider: On your Medicaid card, there should be a number you can call to speak with a representative about abortion coverage—including procedural, medication, in-person, and/or telehealth abortion.
- Ask your abortion provider: Don’t hesitate to ask your abortion provider for support. They can help you navigate your Medicaid plan coverage.
Can I get help paying for an abortion?
Yes—abortion funds can cover the full or partial cost of treatment as well as travel if you're not able to get care locally. Learn more about abortion funds and how they might be able to help you get the care you need.
Cost should never be a barrier to abortion care. Hey Jane offers several ways to lower the cost of care, including:
- Insurance coverage that can bring cost as low as $0
- Income-based pricing for all patients paying out of pocket
- Using HSA or FSA accounts to pay for treatment
- Buy now, pay later plans
- Financial assistance from Hey Jane’s abortion fund partners
Insurance coverage is not required to get care with Hey Jane—you can also pay for care with Apple Pay, Google Pay, debit and credit card.

View all reviews“My whole experience went smoothly, the team was very supportive from beginning to end. They constantly checked on me and made sure to send me tips so I felt comfortable. It honestly felt like they were holding my hand the entire time.”
“Hey Jane gave me discretion, support, and help during the most vulnerable time of my life at a price I could afford. I’m beyond grateful.”
Hey Jane was very helpful and informative
I found Hey Jane in a Google search after an unexpected positive pregnancy test while we are in no position to have another baby. I knew I could probably make an appointment to see the midwives for an abortion but I wanted to take care of it ASAP since I was only 4-5 weeks pregnant...plus I wanted to avoid the shame of it in person. Hey Jane was very helpful and informative the whole way through the process. Only negative would be that our insurance provider didn't populate but instead of calling and doing more to have it covered, we are in a position that we could pay the out of pocket cost and proceed without insurance.
With Hey Jane, I was able to get the medication within about 24–48 hours
I’m really grateful for how accessible and efficient my experience with Hey Jane was. I had looked into other options, and many required me to be at least six weeks pregnant or to go into an office, which didn’t align with what I needed. I knew my decision early, and I didn’t want to wait and experience more symptoms just to meet a requirement. With Hey Jane, I was able to get the medication within about 24–48 hours, which made a huge difference. The speed, combined with the ability to handle everything online, allowed me to move forward in a way that felt right for me. What mattered most was being able to do this in the privacy of my own home. I didn’t have to go into a clinic, I didn’t have to explain myself to anyone in person, and I was able to choose the day that worked best for me. That level of control and comfort is something I really appreciated. Support was also available if I needed it, which added reassurance, but honestly the biggest impact for me was how simple, fast, and private the entire process was. If someone is looking for an option that allows you to make this decision on your own terms, quickly and privately, I would absolutely recommend Hey Jane.

Hey Jane let me get the care I needed in the privacy of my home
I found out I was pregnant soon after our child turned one years old. My husband and I decided that now is not the best time for us to have another child, due to multiple factors including my mental health. I called my local OB/GYN and they told me that they do not provide abortions in office and I had to drive more than two hours away for care. Due to work and home responsibilities, that would have been very hard for me to do. Hey Jane let me get the care I needed in the privacy of my home, judgement free.

The members of Hey Jane are absolutely wonderful, they make going through the whole process quick and easy for me to understand and I received my treatment within days of signing up.

This site brought me so much relief
The process of getting the pills was easy and discrete, going in person there were so many hoops to jump through but Hey Jane made the whole process easier by not overcomplicating the process. It was difficult for me to get into in person clinics and if I could the cost was out the roof. I would definitely recommend Hey Jane because this site brought me so much relief in the whole process.
They were super responsive
I found out I was pregnant at about 3 1/2-4 weeks and knew I wasn’t ready. After talking with my boyfriend, we both agreed we weren’t ready for a child for several reasons, and I found Hey Jane. They were super responsive and got me the medication I needed, and treatment was honestly pretty easy for me, being at about 4 1/2-5 weeks when I took the pills. I believe that also me taking 1000 mg of Tylenol pm and an anti nausea pill a hour before taking misoprostol also helped and I took the first dose of misoprostol vaginally (I took mifepristone 24 hrs prior). After about 30 minutes, I had cramping (even though the Tylenol dulled it down), a slight fever, and chills, about 15 minutes later the Tylenol kicked in and I fell asleep. The next morning, I woke up, went to the bathroom, passed 1-2 clots, with one feeling like about the size of a golf ball, and had light bleeding overnight. My bleeding immediately decreased after that, and that night I took the second dose of misoprostol for good measure (the nurse told me if I would feel better taking the second dose to make sure I passed everything I could take it). Took the second dose without any Tylenol and experienced no cramps and no additional bleeding. Within 24 hours, my nausea and sore nipples was gone and my fatigue quickly went away. Currently two weeks after my abortion, and I currently only have some breast tenderness but that’s been going away slowly.
They were very accommodating for my financial situation.

What you need to know about Illinois abortion laws
In 2019, Illinois enacted a statutory protection for abortion as a fundamental right. In January 2023, Illinois enacted a law that protects providers, patients, and people who help others access abortion care from any out-of-state investigations or legal actions.
Illinois abortion laws are constantly evolving. Stay up to date on the latest.
How late can you get an abortion in Illinois?
You can be prescribed medication abortion up to 10 weeks after the first day of your last menstrual period. Estimate how far along your pregnancy is with our online calculator.
If your pregnancy is further along, you can get an elective in-clinic procedural abortion before fetal viability (typically about 24-26 weeks) as determined by a health care provider.
Who can get an abortion in Illinois?
Anyone with a uterus can get an abortion in Illinois until the pregnancy is viable (usually 24-26 weeks into a pregnancy).
It’s also legal for non-Illinois residents to get an abortion in Illinois. If you live in a state where you’re unable to get an abortion, you can travel to Illinois to get the care that you need.
If you are younger than 18, you do not have to notify or get permission from your parent or guardian before you have an abortion.
The abortion pill explained
The abortion pill is actually two medications taken separately—mifepristone and misoprostol. The first medication, mifepristone, blocks the pregnancy hormone (progesterone), which stops a pregnancy from growing. The second medication, misoprostol, causes cramping and bleeding to empty the uterus.
Medication abortions are safe and highly effective
Medication abortion is very safe. Complications from this treatment are very uncommon—they occur in less than 1% of patients. When used correctly, the medications work up to 99.6% of the time. Read our guide on what to expect after taking abortion pills for more information.
Getting a medication abortion does not lower your chances of getting or staying pregnant in the future; it does not cause infertility or cause birth defects in a future pregnancy.
Having an abortion does not increase your risk for breast cancer and does not cause depression.
If you still have questions, check out our resource center or FAQs.
How to find an abortion clinic in Illinois
If you’re more than 10 weeks pregnant, or prefer to get an abortion in-person, there are some factors to keep in mind:
- First, calculate how far along you are in your pregnancy with our online estimator.
- Consider factors like the cost, logistics, and experience, which is different for medication versus procedural abortion.
- Beware of fake clinics! Use a trusted tool like INeedAnA.com to locate real abortion clinics.
Find more information on abortion clinics, cost, and travel in the following Illinois cities: Chicago, Joliet, Decatur, Bloomington, Rockford.
Abortion in Illinois is safe and legal
