  • New York requires that both public and most private health insurance cover abortion care.

    If you have insurance regulated by New York state, it should cover your abortion. If you do not have insurance and you are a New York State resident, you may qualify for Medicaid.

    Medicaid in New York covers the full cost of abortion care. You can be eligible for Medicaid regardless of citizenship or immigration status. Visit https://nystateofhealth.ny.gov/ or call 1-855-355-5777 to get enrolled. The enrollment process will take between 30 to 60 minutes, and if you are approved, you will be able to use your Medicaid to cover the entire cost of an abortion within 48 hours of signing up.

  • The National Abortion Helpline (NAH) supports low-income people across the country. We often work with them to split the costs of procedures for callers who are eligible. Call them at 1-800-772-9100 or chat https://prochoice.org/patients/naf-hotline.

    If you are not a New York State resident or you are not having your abortion in New York, visit the National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF) at abortionfunds.org to find your local fund.
