What To Expect...
Before you do anything, contact the National Abortion Federation (NAF) at 800-772-9100 to ask for help with funding. Their line is often busy, but don’t be discouraged – keep calling and you will eventually get through.
 |
Once you’ve talked to someone at NAF, check our Providers page to determine which clinic is most convenient for you. Use the contact information on our Providers page to make an appointment at the
clinic. When you talk to a clinic counselor, you may |
|
be asked a number of questions to help identify
what your need is. This will include where you live, how far along the
pregnancy is (know when your last menstrual period was), and if you were
eligible for NAF funding. |
The clinic counselor will discuss with you how much money you can contribute towards your abortion and if necessary, how to raise more.
EMA’s funding is very difficult to get and we need patients to pay for as much of the cost of the procedure that they can so we can help as many women as possible. EMA does not give money directly to patients but rather, we have billing agreements with several clinics and the clinics will collect payment directly from EMA.
We will also collect information about your race, how the pregnancy has affected your personal health, and whether you’ve been a victim of rape, incest, domestic violence etc. This information helps us to collect statistics about the patients we help. We use this information to try and get grants to help raise money. Your identity will be kept confidential. It is NEVER shared and is only for EMA’s use towards grant writing.
