carafem is increasing access to medically supported, at-home abortion care beginning Sept. 27
Client-centered medically supported telehealth abortion care provider, carafem, proudly announces the expansion of telehealth abortion care services to Minnesota – providing people with safe, affordable, high-quality abortion care without the need to travel to a clinic to terminate a pregnancy up to 11 weeks along. Minnesota joins the growing list of states that can access this healthcare option from carafem, including Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Virginia, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont, Rhode Island and the District of Columbia.
“Our goal is to provide a trusted, personalized and quality medical care option for those seeking an abortion at home. carafem provides discrete options that are respectful of and responsive to each individual’s personal preferences and needs. This is critical, especially right now when sexual and reproductive health rights are under threat across our country,” said Melissa Grant, Chief Operating Officer of carafem. “We continue to see many people who prefer to use abortion medications at home after a private online visit with a carafem healthcare provider. This is especially true in rural areas in the states we serve. We expect that to hold true in Minnesota as well.”
Now, a person who seeks an abortion in Minnesota can meet with a carafem clinician online and receive abortion pills delivered discreetly to their home within 1-3 days of their secure telehealth visit. Clients will also receive 24/7 personalized support from their virtual assistant “Cara” throughout the process – from taking the first pill through the final follow-up visit to confirm they are no longer pregnant. The cost for at-home abortion pills in Minnesota through carafem ranges from $250- $375. Financial assistance may be available to those who qualify.
carafem’s proprietary virtual assistant, “Cara,” helps clients feel more comfortable and confident with their at-home abortion care process by providing them with trusted, personalized support and information, 24/7. Cara is an SMS text-based support system that helps clients manage their personalized care plan with information such as when and how to take their medications, how to manage their symptoms, and by providing immediate answers to common questions. Additionally, Cara seamlessly connects clients to a member of their medical care team if they have a question that requires quick access to medical advice and assistance.
“carafem clients can receive high-quality medical care in a way that is safe, flexible, and convenient. Ultimately, the most important aspect of carafem’s service is our commitment to ensuring people receive the judgment-free care they need and the respect they deserve,” adds Grant.
