Introduction
- Fort Wayne Women's Health Organization is an outpatient
medical Center which specializes in reproductive health care
including emotionally supportive abortion care. The Center
maintains a friendly atmosphere with patient care monitored at a
high professional level. Our physicians performing abortions are
licensed medical doctors with specialized expertise in abortion
medicine. They are assisted by licensed nurses, laboratory
technicians, and trained counselors. The Center complies with
State regulations and local medical standards.
Appointments
- Call us in advance to make an appointment. By Indiana state law, state mandated
information has to be given at least 18 hours prior to the abortion procedure.
Call us for more information on this process. The toll-free 800 number is
answered Mondays through Thursdays from 8:30 am until 8:00 pm EST, Fridays
8:30 am until 7:00 pm, and Saturdays 8:00 am to 2:00 pm EST. Please bring
any special problems to the attention of the phone counselor. If the appointment
has to be canceled for any reason, please let us know at least a day in advance.
Eligibility
- Eligibility for our procedures is up to the physician
performing the abortion. Patients traveling great distances should
have their pregnancy confirmed before making an appointment. We
use our physicians pelvic exam, the date of the last normal
menstrual period (LMP), and a sonogram to confirm
eligibility.
The
Cost
- To ensure confidentiality we do not send bills for abortions. Fees are all-inclusive
and include pre- and post-abortion counseling, laboratory studies, local anesthesia,
physicians fee, and birth control information and samples. A post-op exam
and RhoGam for Rh- women is an additional modest charge. Full payment must
be made on the day of the abortion in the form of money orders, cashier's
check, American Express, Mastercard, VISA, Discover, or cash. The card holder
must be persent to sign the sales receipt if a credit card is used. For collection
reasons, we do not accept personal checks. This policy allows us to keep costs
to a minimum. We do accept insurance and HMO reimbursement verified in advance.
The fees below are all subject to change.
Early Abortion (7-12 weeks LMP) - $480
Early Abortion (7-12 weeks LMP) with Medicaid - $425
- Sedation - $50 additional
RhoGam for Rh negative women (mini dose) - $45
-
Early
Abortion
- After medical history forms, labwork, and counseling are
completed, you will be escorted into the procedure room. A mild
sedation may be given to eliminate anxiety. The abortion method
used is non-traumatic vacuum aspiration. It's hard to say what the
abortion will feel like since it's different for each person. Some
women compare it to menstrual cramps. But, because we use the
simplest procedures, discomfort is kept to a minimum. Afterwards,
you are closely monitored for approximately 1 hour in a
comfortable recovery room under the supervision of the nursing
staff.
