A WORD ABOUT GETTING AN ABORTION IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND HOW TOBY’S FUND HELPS
Currently 16 states (32%) allow the use of Medicaid to pay for abortion care. Fortunately Illinois is one of them. If someone in need of an abortion lives in Illinois and is eligible for Medicaid services then this procedure is covered. Abortions are expensive, however, and it’s possible that less then a third of the cost of the procedures are covered by Medicaid. That’s where Toby’s Fund comes in. Our fund guarantees that the clinic is compensated for their costs and the person needing to obtain abortion services can obtain the procedure without (or at reduced) cost.
Typical Costs of An Abortion in Illinois:
- Medication Abortion / Abortion Pill: $360
- Suction Aspiration / Vacuum Abortion (6-12 weeks gestation): $550-$700
- Dilation and Curettage (13-16 weeks gestation) : $850-$1600
- Dilation and Evacuation (17-21 weeks gestation): $1500-$2100
