We are a private medical practice and your confidentiality is paramount to us. Many insurance companies will cover an abortion procedure. Every policy is different. To determine whether your policy covers abortion, call you insurance company and ask them if they pay for an outpatient, elective abortion. All patients are encouraged to bring a support person, but it is not required unless you are having general anesthesia or heavy sedation.
Heavy sedation is administered intravenously.
You are awake and can communicate with the physician, but you will not recall the procedure. This anesthesia is offered only in our Akron Center. Like the general anesthesia, you will not be able to eat 12 hours prior to your procedure. You will need to bring someone with you to drive you home. We have taken measures to minimize your required visits to our Centers.
