carafem Offers NEW Immediate Evaluation for Abortion Pills

carafem, the most trusted provider of telehealth abortion care, is proud to make available Immediate Evaluation for Abortion Pills. Clients living in Illinois, Colorado, New Mexico, and Maryland can immediately know if they are eligible to receive discretely packaged abortion pills by mail and can receive them without unnecessary delay and without a mandatory telephone call or video visit.

“Abortion should be available for all who want it when they need it, and carafem’s Immediate Evaluation for abortion pills is one way to make that a bit easier,” says Melissa Grant, Chief Operations Officer, and Co-Founder of carafem. “Our medical professionals strive to make abortion services more convenient, personalized and private without compromising high-quality care.”

The abortion pill consists of a combination of medications (often mifepristone and misoprostol) taken in sequence, and primarily used in the U.S. before 12 weeks of pregnancy. At carafem, costs average about $199, with additional financial assistance available to those who qualify.

Immediate Evaluation for abortion pills is a simple online process supported by carafem clinicians who are licensed, experienced providers of abortion care. The carafem medical team assures each client is medically qualified to receive this care and that all people are uniquely prepared and supported throughout the abortion process with pills.

Here’s how it works:

1. After completing an Immediate Evaluation form located on the carafem website, clients will be instantly aware of their eligibility to receive medically-supported abortion pills at home. As part of this process, carafem medical staff reviews all pertinent medical history and shares complete information and options around abortion with pills.
2. A licensed medical professional will approve each prescription and forward it to have medications sent directly to each client. The pills will be delivered in a discrete, unmarked package and come with a complete instruction guide and a uniquely designed comfort kit of items chosen to help make using the medications easier. The package is usually delivered within about 1-4 business days, depending upon the shipping option chosen, and the time of day order is placed.
3. As part of this service, clients will receive secure text updates from Cara, carafem’s online virtual assistant. Cara will track shipments, provide private, accurate information about using the medications from the carafem medical team, and confidentially answer questions while providing support to carafem clients any time, day or night.“

carafem has provided high-quality, compassionate abortions to thousands of people in over 18 states across the United States, both in-person and through online visits,” adds Grant. “With the launch of Immediate Evaluation for Abortion Pills, carafem is continuing to transform the client experience of abortion care and increase availability for those who need it.”
