Abortion pill prices in Maryland range from $0 with insurance to $499, depending on your provider, location, and financial assistance options. However, the cost of a medication abortion in Maryland can be lower with insurance or through a virtual provider like Hey Jane.

‍

Will my insurance cover an abortion in Maryland?

Potentially, yes—and it can bring the cost of abortion care as low as $0 depending on your plan. Maryland Medicaid covers certain abortion services for people enrolled in the state plan, and by law, private insurance plans which cover labor and delivery must also cover abortion care. 

Hey Jane patients who get treatment in Maryland can use Aetna, Cigna, and Sana Benefits insurance plans to pay for their medication abortion. We're actively working to expand 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
• Get care now and pay over time through Affirm
• 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.

What you need to know about Maryland abortion laws

Abortion in Maryland is legal at any point during a pregnancy. There are no gestational age limits that restrict abortion access based on how many weeks pregnant you are.

Since 1991, the right to abortion has been codified in the state of Maryland, which means that state law guarantees the right to abortion care. In fact, Maryland recognizes every individual’s right to make their own decisions about their reproductive health—including continuing a pregnancy or having an abortion.

In 2023, Maryland established legal protections for abortion providers, patients, and those who assist them, from out-of-state investigations or legal actions. The state also increased protections for reproductive health care data and safe access to abortion facilities. 

Maryland abortion laws are constantly evolving. Stay up to date on the latest.

‍

How late can you get an abortion in Maryland?

You can be prescribed abortion medication, a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol, 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 than that, you can get an elective in-clinic procedural abortion at any point during pregnancy as there are no gestational age restrictions in Maryland.

‍

Who can get an abortion in Maryland?

Anyone with a uterus can get an abortion in Maryland at any point during pregnancy.

It’s also legal for non-Maryland residents to get an abortion in Maryland within this timeframe. If you live in a state where you’re unable to get an abortion, you can travel to Maryland to get the care that you need. And, as a Maryland resident, it’s legal for you to get an abortion in other states that permit abortion. 

College students, minors, and undocumented immigrants all have the right to get an abortion in Maryland through these timeframes as well. While parental involvement is generally required for minors in Maryland, a physician may be able to waive this requirement.

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 or womb. 

For some, this treatment can feel like a heavy period, but for others, it can feel much more intense. Everyone's experience is different.  

While the majority of abortions performed in the US are medication abortions, about 73% of adults don’t know about this option, and baseless lawsuits only serve to further confuse people.

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. In fact, you can get pregnant almost immediately after having an abortion.

That’s not all:

• The abortion pill is safer than Tylenol (acetaminophen)
• The abortion pill is safer than Viagra (sildenafil)
• Despite myths that say otherwise, having an abortion does not increase your risk for breast cancer and does not cause depression.

How to find an abortion clinic in Maryland

If you’re more than 10 weeks pregnant, or prefer to get an abortion in-person, there are some factors to keep in mind when searching for the right abortion clinic.  

1. First, calculate how far along you are in your pregnancy with our online estimator. Some clinics only offer abortion procedures up until a certain gestational age, so you’ll want to call to confirm that you’re eligible before scheduling. 

2. You may also want to consider the cost of an abortion in Maryland, which is different for medication versus procedural.  

2. Beware of fake clinics! When searching for clinics online, use caution. You’ll want to avoid scheduling with a fake clinic, sometimes called a “crisis pregnancy center,” a type of organization that often appears clinical online and in-person, but are generally not medical clinics and are funded by anti-choice organizations aimed at preventing pregnant people from accessing abortion care. Horrible, we know. INeedAnA.com has a helpful search tool for locating real abortion clinics.

Abortion in Maryland is safe and legal

And it’s a basic health care need for millions of people who can become pregnant. In fact, about 1 in 4 people with a uterus will have at least one abortion in their lifetime.

Right now, you can have an abortion for any reason in Maryland at any point during a pregnancy.

There are several ways to end a pregnancy, including in-clinic procedures and FDA-approved abortion pills which can be taken at home and have less than a 1% risk of complications. Factors like the gestational age of the fetus, your medical history, and your personal preferences will help determine which methods of abortion are best for your situation.

In pregnancies up to 10 weeks, medication abortion treatments can be completed at home through virtual providers like Hey Jane. After completing our secure intake process online, you’ll be connected with one of our licensed medical providers. If they determine you’re eligible for treatment, you’ll receive your medication within a few days in discreet packaging, plus anti-nausea medication and ibuprofen to help with any side effects.
