We are committed to keeping our medical fees affordable to all patients. Fees for medical services and abortion procedures are based on many criteria, depending on what services you request and the associated complexity and length of pregnancy or of your individual situation. We will always recognize that cost is very important to patients so we always make sure that our care, while offering the most private and dignified environment, is still affordable to everyone. We provide affordable abortion options and procedures while also allowing patients the benefit of our private and professional medical care environment. Based on information you provide us when you schedule and appointment, we can provide you with the costs of care necessary to assist in your needs.
You will find that fees in various cities and some clinics are often very different. We strive to provide patients with the most affordable services in our region, and if you have health insurance coverage, we will file the claim for your direct reimbursement if they cover the medical care provided under your policy. There are some clinics that are quite expensive but still may not provide complete services for this fee, including effective IV sedation or post-op medications. There are also a few older clinics that will attempt to charge you extra money to perform routine tests, such as Rh typing of your blood, because they they know you must have have your Rh type determined for you to be able to get an elective abortion. Our facility provides this test to every patient at no additional charge as we are a certified and licensed laboratory by the State of Florida. There are also some clinics that may provide or use a menu-type system, sometimes even labeling patient options as "VIP" services to allow them to charge an increased rate for privacy, or they may charge separately for anesthesia in their clinic-type environment. These hidden fees or "surprise fees" can be traumatic, and we feel all patients should be cared for without surprise fees for the necessary treatments.
At Florida Women's Center, every patient we care for always receives only the highest level of care in our private and comfortable physician staffed private medical environment. All of our patients are treated with the utmost privacy and respect that is standard in true medical practice settings. All surgical IV anesthesia, labs, ultrasounds and standard post-operative medications associated with an abortion procedure are included in our cost and provided to patients without any additional charge. We use only modern and effective IV medications that are the same that you would get in the main hospital and our protocols for comfort medicines are provided by experienced physicians with Dr. Kelly having sought additional training in the field of anesthesiology. Our open and honest fee approach makes sure that patients only receive modern and complete medical care and abortion services, and are not limited by their ability to pay for "deceptively uncharged services". We provide your antibiotics and medications in our office at no extra charge to allow you to go home and relax after your procedure, as you should.
We recommend a follow-up visit in 4-6 weeks after the surgical procedure and there is no charge for this visit. We will address all forms of birth control options and needs as part of our services during your initial visit after your surgical procedure or at the follow-up visit if you choose. All patients receive physician approved Birth Control information, complimentary starter packs if appropriate, and a continued prescription for most methods of contraception commonly chosen by our patients. We offer all modern brands of Birth Control options.

There are a few women who have an Rh negative blood type, and if so they require a special injection called "Rhogam" to protect their future pregnancies from the implications of having this blood type. In the event that you have an uncommon negative blood type (Rh-negative), while there is no additional charge to determine this blood Rh type, there is a small additional fee for the administration of the Anti-Rh serum (rhogam injection).
We accept all forms of payment, major credit cards, debit cards, and check cards but we do not accept personal checks. We also accept most major insurances and upon request, our staff can assist with insurance filing in order for you to receive a reimbursement if your policy covers the medical visit and associated procedures. We offer reduced fees to patients who are students, active military, or on Medicaid, so be sure and mention this when making your appointment and bring an ID.
