Will Health Insurance pay for out of State abortions?

[edhopper]

I imagine most places will be out of network.

So time off from work, travel expenses unless you work for one of those companies that will help, and maybe a giant medical bill.

Recipe for disaster.

2. And when the Extreme Court overturns the ACA, pregnancy will be a

Preexisting condition so they can charge even more.

3. Maybe

My husband had a heart attack when we were out of state on a trip. Insurance paid for it all.

Different circumstances. Hence my answer - maybe.

4. Until States pass laws prohibiting it

5. Depends on the policy

I’m a man, so obviously abortion doesn’t apply to me personally, but my insurance covers healthcare worldwide.

But as a federal employee, it doesn’t cover abortion at all, except for life of the mother (possibly rape and incest as well, not sure).

6. They either cover the abortion or the cover the pregnancy & delivery. Which costs more?

7. Insurance Plans Routinely Pay for Travel Expenses When the Patient Must Travel More Than

30 or 60 miles to obtain medical care not available closer to home. The distance may differ from plan to plan but the provision is usually included in commercial and large Employer plans that are mostly self-insured. These plans treat abortions just like any other medical surgical procedure. Companies are pointing out this coverage specifically for abortions because most people don't know that coverage is already in place for related travel expenses. I like that companies spoke up as it reiterates their support for their women Employees and dependents having access to abortions.

8. It depends. Many national companies have a national network.

Local companies are more likely to have limited (local) networks and to either charge out-of-network (higher) costs for out-of-state providers - OR - not cover out-of-network providers at all.
