Safe, affordable abortion pills delivered

Medication abortion (also called the abortion pill) is a safe and effective way to end an early pregnancy. It was approved by the FDA in 2000 and is now approved to end pregnancies up to 10 weeks. Today, 63% of abortions in the US are done with medications. The simple treatment involves taking two medicines over a couple days.

The first medicine you take is mifepristone, which blocks the pregnancy hormone (progesterone) and stops the pregnancy from growing. Then, 24-48 hours later you take a second medicine, called misoprostol. Misoprostol causes cramping and bleeding to empty the uterus. You can expect bleeding like a heavy period. Taken together, these two pills work up to 98 out of 100 times to end an early pregnancy. No sedation or general anesthesia needed, though Hey Jane providers ibuprofen or Tylenol in your shipment to help manage pain due to cramping.

After you take mifepristone (the first medication), you must complete the abortion. If treatment with medication does not work the first time, you may have the option to repeat the medicines or you will need an in-clinic procedural abortion. Hey Jane will be with you every step of the way to make sure you get the support and care you need.

The cost of treatment with Hey Jane will vary depending on what services your receive and how you pay. There are a few ways to pay for care: with insurance (including Illinois Medicaid) or self-pay.

Pay through insurance: If you use your insurance, our team will help you understand your expected coverage and costs. We currently select insurance plans and HSA/FSA funds, and are actively working on expanding our coverage.

Get sliding-scale pricing: If paying out-of-pocket, your treatment price is determined by your annual income. Sliding scale pricing is available for all Hey Jane services, and can be paid with debit or debit card, Cash App, and some HSA/FSA funds. Additional financial assistance is available for medication abortion patients from our abortion fund partners.

Occasionally for medication abortion care, a sonogram or lab work may be needed to ensure that treatment with Hey Jane is right for you or for diagnostic purposes following your treatment. While not available through Hey Jane, we'll walk you through obtaining care and provide transparency on your options every step of the way.

Yes, we currently accept Illinois Medicaid for medication abortion care provided to Illinois Medicaid members located within Illinois at the time of service. We are actively working on expanding our Medicaid coverage.

If patients without coverage need financial assistance in addition to our income-based sliding scale pricing, we partner with abortion funds to cover the cost of treatment, travel, and/or accommodations.
