Insurance usually covers abortions but you have to get a referral from either planned parenthood or your normal doctor. I would recommend going to planned parenthood that way you can speak to a counselor to look at your options before you make a permanent one and if thats the decision you make then they can tell you what you need to do. If you are still on your parents insurance they will probably have to ok it. You can call the insurance company to find out for sure. Take Care Honey.

Please find a Crisis Pregnancy Center in your area (see link below). They offer free over-the-counter pregnancy tests and many offer free sonograms. They are a better alternative than "Planned Parenthood" which is a group that is financially INVESTED in making sure that you choose abortion. They are very successful at this because they purposefully hide information about your baby’s development and don’t offer sonograms so that you can see your baby. They tell you abortion is “routine” and that it is a “minor procedure”, but then when you are hurting emotionally afterwards, they tell you you’ll just “get over it”.
Did you know that most abortionists don’t even do a sonogram first to find out how far along the baby is? They just take the mother’s word for it as to how many weeks gestation she is, and they start the abortion anyway. Many women find out that they miscalculated and are further along than they thought, sometimes into the second trimester. This happened to me. I thought I was 12 weeks, but after the abortionist finished, he nonchalantly told me “sorry it took so long…your baby was a bit further along than 12 weeks.” I was so shocked that I couldn’t say anything. I couldn’t even bring myself to ask how far along the baby was. If they had done their due diligence, they should have found that out, informed me, and let me make my choice based on the facts. As it was, they just decided to go forth anyway and inform me in passing. It still sickens me to this day.
Crisis Pregnancy Centers truly offer information about ALL alternative choices for a pregnant woman, and then they back it up by actually providing FREE help with any of those alternatives; referrals to government agencies for help, as well as private non-profits and individuals who selflessly give help and support to women having a difficult time dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. After the birth, they also provide free baby clothes, formula, diapers, wipes, nursery furniture, counseling services, parenting classes, and too many other things to mention here. The women who work there are largely volunteers whose goals are to HELP women and children, not to lead them down the path of heartbreak and guilt that inevitably follows abortion. They truly care about BOTH the baby AND the mother.
God bless.

In some states you can apply for Medicaid and they will cover the abortion. Go to your local Department of Family Services and request information. Also, you can contact a clinic and see what type of payment plans (if any) they offer.

Go to planned parenthood. They will help you out. Do not go to a crisis counseling center as mentioned in the answers. It is a pro-life agenda.
Make sure you get an unbiased explanation of the pros and cons of abortion from a health care professional. Do not get pressured either way. Do what works best for you in your tough situation.

Only if it is medically necessary. Otherwise, try going to Planned Parenthood; they offer a sliding scale. How old are you? If you're in a parental consent state, you may have to carry the baby to term if your parents won't give consent.
Sorry...

You probably would have to pay out your pocket, you can adopt for free though, unfortunately you'd have to carry full term.

Should have used protection. I hope you learned your lesson. And no, insurance does not cover irresponsibility unless there is a medical reason.

Unless you health is threatened, BCBS will not pay for it. Good Luck.
