Can I bring my 17 year old girlfriend to an abortion? I'm 19. She lives with me. I just don't have her medical card. What all do I need and how much will it cost?

Patients who are under the age of 18 need to inform an adult family member that they have decided to have an abortion (a parent, grandparent, step-parent living in the same home or a legal guardian). The adult family member does not have to come with the patient to the visit. They can sign a letter and the patient can bring that to the visit or a staff member can call the family member before the appointment an notify them over the phone (this must be done at least 48 hours before the visit). If the patient feels they cannot speak with a family member they can contact the ACLU and go through the process of obtaining a judicial bypass (http://www.ilbypass.org/). The cost depends on which procedure will be provided. Insurance can help to reduce a patient's out of pocket cost for care. Please have the patient give us a call for more information. Illinois Medicaid does cover abortion care in full. If a patient has misplaced their card we can help the patient look up their number.

Actually, you do not need to be over the age of 18 at that clinic to be someones guest. Also, they only accept medicaid NOT medicare. You can always call FPA and provide her RIN# (or she can call) which she can get from the DHS office. Also, Illinois law states she would need either judicial bybass or a legal guardian to come with. My friend had her 16 year old come in and they helped her get what she needed super quickly!

Yes you can take her as long as u are over 18 .. the cost is about 380. Its free with medical card she will need ID. You can pull her Medicare number offline

How do I get her Medicare number offline? And if I bring just the numbers will that be okay?
