Does it matter how far along I am in the pregnancy if I choose to have an abortion?
Yes, and the laws differ in each state. Please contact us for more information.
Will having an abortion affect my ability to become pregnant in the future?
No. The procedure should not affect a patient’s reproductive ability.
Am I required to come back for my check up after my procedure?
Yes, it is mandatory that you come back for your follow up after the procedure since your health is our number one priority. There is no charge for follow-up care.
Can I always accurately estimate how far along I am in my pregnancy based on my last menstrual period?
While a useful tool, estimation by using a patient’s last menstrual period is not 100% accurate since some women continue to have periods while pregnant.
Can I be put to sleep?
We do not put anyone to sleep at our facility (it helps us to keep our costs low to you, as well as minimizes post-procedure complications. Anesthesia has a much higher complication rate than abortion procedures), but we do offer additional sedation. We do require that you have a driver if you choose to get additional sedation.
Does Medicaid or insurance pay for the procedure?
Medicaid and most insurance companies do not cover the abortion procedure. While we are not an insurance provider, we will be more than happy to supply you with a claim form to turn into your insurance company for reimbursement if applicable.
Do you have payment plans?
We do not offer payment plans but if you need financial help we can help you obtain support from several pro-choice organizations. We accept cash, money orders, and credit/debit cards (VISA, American Express, and MasterCard).
Is an abortion safe and legal?
Abortions have less than a 1% complication rate, making them one of the safest procedures in the United States. Laws differ in every state, and the Republican controlled legislatures of NC and GA have enacted a series of legal hurdles for women who seek an abortion. A Preferred Women’s Health Center will do everything in its power to help you through this process.
Do you have private appointments?
Yes, we offer private appointments for an additional charge. If you desire a private appointment, make certain to tell your phone counselor and they will help arrange the best time and location for your care.
