Understanding Medical Costs and Insurance
Most health insurance policies have strict rules about who can be covered under a plan. In many cases, a partner’s insurance will not pay for a girlfriend’s medical expenses unless the couple is legally married or in a registered domestic partnership.
In Indiana, most health insurance plans, including Medicaid, do not cover abortion services except in very limited circumstances, such as when the pregnant woman’s life is at risk.
Why Pregnancy Confirmation is a Financial Safeguard
Before committing to the cost of any medical procedure, confirming the status of the pregnancy is an important health and financial step. An ultrasound provides essential information before any money is spent, including:
- Viability: Is a heartbeat present?
- Gestational age: How far along is the pregnancy?
- Location: Is the pregnancy in the uterus, or is it an ectopic pregnancy?
At 1st Choice for Women, we offer free pregnancy services, including pregnancy testing and ultrasounds, to help clarify which options may be available.
Resources Beyond the Procedure
Beyond medical costs, 1st Choice for Women offers practical support and community referrals to help couples plan next steps with greater stability. This includes connections to housing and utility assistance, adoption agency resources, and other local programs that may provide additional support.
We will soon be offering parenting education through BrightCourse, which provides training and guidance for both mothers and fathers. In addition, our material assistance program includes essential items such as diapers, wipes, infant and child clothing (up to size 6T), bedding, strollers, baby toiletries, and developmental items. If additional needs arise, we work to connect families with trusted community resources whenever possible.
