Providers can support non-insured patients by:
- Determining the cost of Mifegymiso and medication abortion (MA) consultations fees as out-of-pocket expenses. Make a list of community health centers and discount reproductive health clinics where patients can get a MA prescription at low or no cost.
- Exploring processes for waiving fees or developing cost-sharing agreements with partner organizations or other service providers.
- Ensuring administrative and supporting staff are aware of the plan.
- Referring patients to the Emergency Fund by National Abortion Federation (NAF) Canada and Action Canada:
