Medical Abortion Appointment Reminders

• Please bring a photo ID that includes date of birth. Any patient under the age of 17 must have a parent or legal guardian's consent. Photo identification, as well as proof of parentage or guardianship must also be provided by patient and guardian. Examples: Birth certificate or court order of guardianship. If the last names are different on these photo IDs and/or the documentation listed above, a copy of a marriage certificate or divorce papers must be submitted to verify the change. A minor may also obtain a court judicial bypass instead of consent of a legal guardian, but she must provide court documentation.

If a patient is uncertain of the paperwork required, they should consult the office representative when making an appointment.

• Patients with RH- blood type will need to have an injection of Rhogam. Be sure that you have proof of blood type if you have RH+ blood. Otherwise, you will have the option to have your blood typed (this requires a 72 hour turnaround time not including weekends) to determine if you need Rhogam, or to go ahead and take the injection (it's not harmful to those with RH+ blood) and incur the same fee for Rhogam that an RH- patient must pay. See our fees here. A patient may have proof of blood type on a Red Cross blood donor card, active military ID, Dog Tags, or they can get a copy of a lab report or signed statement from their doctor.

• We hope that your visit is no longer than 3 hours.

• As a reminder, full payment for all services is due on the day of the procedure and is payable by certified check, money order, travelers check, Discover, Mastercard, Visa, cash, or personal check (no counter checks, check must have printed name, address, no PO boxes, and bank information). Photo ID required for all types of payments except cash. We do not accept American Express.

• Also remember that for security, you may not bring bags, purses, cell phones, heavy coats or valuables into the office.

• Failure to have, in hand, any required information will result in either a delay in your appointment or need to reschedule your appointment.

• You may come to this appointment alone. However, if you are over 56 days by ultrasound you will need a driver to have a surgical procedure. Bring only one person with you (for minor patients, both parents are welcome). Please do not bring children to your appointment.
