What Are the Costs of an Abortion in Georgia?

In Georgia, abortion costs align closely with national averages but may vary depending on the provider, location, and type of procedure. It’s important to note that state laws in Georgia may also affect the overall process, including mandatory waiting periods or additional medical evaluations.

Here’s what you need to know about costs in Georgia:

Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)

• Typically costs between $500 to $750 in most clinics.
• Often used within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy.
• Additional costs may include a consultation, ultrasound, or follow-up appointments.

Surgical Abortion

• Costs increase based on gestational age:
  • Up to 13 weeks: First-trimester surgical abortion costs in Georgia range from $500 to $600.
  • After 13 weeks: Costs for procedures later in pregnancy increase significantly, ranging from $1,200 to over $3,000, depending on the provider and complexity of the procedure.

Additional Costs

• Ultrasound Fees: Some providers charge separately for an ultrasound, which can cost between $100 and $300.
• Anesthesia: If anesthesia is used, it may add $200 to $1,000 to the total cost.
• Medications: Pain relief or antibiotics prescribed after the procedure may result in extra charges.

What Affects the Cost of an Abortion?

Several factors can influence the total cost of an abortion, including:

• Gestational Age: Costs increase the further along the pregnancy is.
• Type of Procedure: Medical abortions are generally less expensive than surgical abortions.
• Location: Urban clinics may charge more than rural locations, and private providers may cost more than larger health organizations.
• Insurance: Some insurance plans may cover part or all of the costs, but many do not.
• State Regulations: Laws requiring additional steps, such as multiple appointments or waiting periods, can add to the total expense.

Considering All Your Options

An unplanned pregnancy can feel overwhelming, but it’s important to know you have time to weigh all your options. Along with understanding abortion costs, you may want to explore:

• Parenting: With access to parenting classes, material assistance, and other resources, parenting may be more manageable than you think.
• Adoption: Adoption provides a path forward for women who aren’t ready to parent but want to give their child a future.
