Depending on your preferences and needs, abortion care with Hey Jane may provide a private and convenient way to get care. In addition to the cost of treatment and logistics to actually be seen in-person, there are hidden costs such as childcare, transportation, and taking time from work that are usually not needed with telehealth abortion care. Some key differences include:
| Hey Jane |
In-person clinics |
Telehealth Clinics |
| Types of abortion |
Medication abortion (up to 11 weeks of pregnancy) |
Medication and procedural abortion (various stages of pregnancy) |
| Cost |
Less! Pricing is determined by your annual income, but using insurance or financial assistance can bring your cost as low as $0. |
$568 (US medication abortion average)
$625-$776 (US procedural abortionaverage)
|
| Speed |
Complete intake 24/7, on your schedule and consult with a provider in 1 business day. Treatment is then delivered in 1-5 business days after consultation. |
Abortion clinic appointments vary, but wait times can be anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks for care. |
| Distance |
No travel required*. Consultations and support are all provided via our secure phone app, Spruce, and treatment is delivered to your door or PO box.
|
As of April 2023, the average person in the US is 86 miles from an abortion provider.
|
| Privacy |
Connect with Hey Jane discreetly from your phone, get treatment delivered in unmarked packaging, and take treatment from the privacy of home.
|
Clinics take privacy seriously, but some people find it uncomfortable to get care somewhere they may run into someone they know.
|
| Support |
Hey Jane provides both medical and emotional support before, during, after treatment. Chat with us on our secure messaging app, call our 24/7 urgent medical line, or connect with other patients anonymous in The Lounge, our online patient forum.
|
Support levels outside of the appointment vary, and may require calling during business hours or another in-person visit. There are also 24/7 support hotlines many clinics will share with other informational resources.
