Abortion costs vary by gestational age and procedure type. Maryland's legal status (State-law protected) affects access. abortionfunds.org can help with costs and travel.

What determines the cost for Maryland patients

The price of abortion care depends on the method (medication vs. in-clinic), how far along the pregnancy is, and whether insurance or Medicaid can be used. Rather than relying on published averages, call the clinic or the NAF hotline for a real quote, then ask about funding before paying out of pocket: abortionfunds.org and the National Network of Abortion Funds exist precisely to close the gap between a quote and what you can afford. Many funds also cover gas, flights, lodging, and childcare.
