In the state of Kentucky, there are various restrictions when it comes to abortion and insurance coverage.
If you are covered by a health plan offered by the state, abortion will only be covered in the cases of life endangerment, rape, or incest.
If you are covered under private insurance, abortion is only covered in the case of life endangerment, unless an additional rider is purchased.
If your reason for seeking an abortion does not qualify you for coverage, you will be responsible for the cost of your abortion on an out-of-pocket basis.
The out-of-pocket cost of abortion will depend on the procedure you qualify for.
If you are within 70 days of gestation, you may qualify for a medical abortion procedure, which costs, on average, $500.
Surgical abortions can be accessed throughout the pregnancy and cost between $500 and $3,000.
