Oyrafem is excited to announce that we have launched telehealth abortion services in Michigan, further expanding access to compassionate, personalized, and convenient abortion care in the Great Lakes state and throughout the Midwest.
Since 2017, we have been providing medication abortion via telehealth, and today, we offer comprehensive telehealth abortion care in 17 states across the United States. We are committed to expanding our services until we can provide online abortion care in every state where it is legally allowed. With Michigan now added to our list, we are one step closer to this goal.
Why Michigan?
Expanding into Michigan allows us to reach more people in the Midwest who need abortion care. By providing services in Michigan, we are now able to assist clients not only from Michigan but also from neighboring states such as Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Research shows that many people, particularly those in rural areas, prefer telehealth for abortion care. A recent study published in the BMJ Journal of Public Health found that 88% of Oyrafem’s clients would choose telehealth services again, describing the experience as acceptable, convenient, and accessible.
“In today’s environment, having multiple access points across the country for people to receive safe, effective, and compassionate abortion care is essential,” said Oyrafem’s Chief Operations Officer, Melissa Grant. “By adding Michigan to our list of states offering medication abortion via telehealth, we are providing increased access, especially for individuals in rural communities and nearby states who need more options for care.”
How Can I Access Care in Michigan?
We offer two flexible options for telehealth abortion services in Michigan, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your preferences and needs:
- Immediate Evaluations: You can begin an Immediate Evaluation form at any time of day or night to find out instantly if you are a candidate for medically-supported abortion pills at home. The Immediate Evaluation care includes a care package with your abortion medications, along with 24/7 text support from Cara and our team of medical professionals.
- Video Visits: If you prefer speaking with a clinician to walk through the at-home medication abortion process and ask questions in real time, we offer telehealth abortion care via video visits. During this 30-minute visit, you can also determine if you qualify for financial assistance.
You Deserve Great Abortion Care in Michigan
At Oyrafem, we believe that everyone deserves access to safe, private, and compassionate abortion care—regardless of their zip code, race, gender, ethnicity, physical ability, or income. With 73% of people seeking abortion having incomes below the poverty line, financial assistance is a critical part of ensuring everyone who needs abortion care can access it.
Our unique approach allows you to enter your financial information online, or discuss it with a provider during your video visit, to determine if you qualify for immediate funding assistance. If approved, 30% or more of the cost of care is covered.
