When calling to schedule an appointment, be sure to have a pencil and paper available to write down important instructions and information.   We will ask you for information about your pregnancy and medical history including the date your last normal menstrual period began or the results of any tests or ultrasounds you've obtained during this pregnancy.    We will also ask you for information pertaining to confidentiality, financial arrangements and ways to be contacted.  We will provide you with the verbal and written information required by the Michigan 24 Hour Consent Law (see our link entitled 24 Hour Consent Law).   If you have insurance, we will need the contract number, policy holder's name, and insurance phone number.     Insurance must be verified before you arrive at the clinic so that you will come prepared with appropriate finances and any required referrals.   

Please feel free to ask questions and address concerns with our staff over the phone and at the time of your appointment.   You will meet one on one with one of our counselors before your procedure in order to complete a medical history form, explore your birth control needs, discuss your abortion decision and receive an explanation of the abortion procedure.    Please write down all your questions and concerns so you can remember to discuss them privately with your counselor.   Our goal is to provide you with as safe and comfortable an experience as possible, both emotionally and physically.

The fee for our abortion services varies depending on the patient's length of pregnancy.  Our current fees include all necessary lab work, ultrasounds, individual counseling, exams, medical abortion medications, surgery, recovery care, and follow-up exams.    Patients with Rh negative blood type will incur an additional cost to cover a RhoGAM injection.   If you are interested in obtaining birth control at the time of your appointment, we can provide you with a month's supply of birth control pills or the birth control patch free of charge along with a 2 month written prescription.  You may consent to and receive a Depo Provera injection for a fee of $70.    We offer an additional sedative called Conscious Sedation to clients having a first trimester abortion for an additional fee.    Please discuss these options with our staff when you schedule your appointment so you will arrive prepared.

We are now offering the option of purchasing your aftercare medications from our office at a fee lower than a pharmacy would charge!   We hope this option will not only offer you a financial savings, but avoiding a pharmacy visit gives you a more private recovery and a quicker, more convenient return home.    You must come financially prepared on the day of your appointment if you want to purchase your aftercare medications from us so please contact our office for more information regarding medication fees.   If you have prescription insurance coverage or Medicaid or if you choose not to utilize this option, our physician will provide you with written prescriptions you may fill at your pharmacy.

If you have medical insurance, it may or may not cover voluntary abortion services.  Our staff is willing to contact your insurance company for you in order to verify your benefits, referral requirements, deductible information, and co-pay obligations.   We will calculate the amount you will be responsible for at the time of your appointment and provide help with any other concerns you may have in deciding whether or not to use your insurance.   Although we accept most insurances when we are able to verify abortion coverage, we reserve the right to not accept payment directly from certain insurance companies which we know do not reimburse sufficiently for our services.   In these cases, we will provide you with an insurance billable receipt so you may submit it on your own for reimbursement.  

Our fees are subject to change therefore it is best to contact the office directly for our current rates.   Please inform our staff if you are having problems obtaining the finances for your abortion.    We are often able to provide suggestions or assistance which may help you achieve your goal.
