If you are considering abortion and researching your options in the Alameda, Santa Clara, or San Mateo County areas, this information may answer some of your questions.
How Much Does Abortion Cost in Alameda, Santa Clara or San Mateo County?
Abortion services may be available at no cost through Medi-Cal. If you do not qualify for Medi-Cal or have medical insurance that covers abortion, you may be required to pay out-of-pocket. The approximate cost of an abortion ranges from $280 – $2500.
Abortion rates will vary depending on the clinic and provider you select and how far along you are in your pregnancy. A pre-abortion screening at RealOptions Obria Medical Clinics includes a lab grade pregnancy test, an ultrasound if your test is positive, and a consultation with a registered nurse.
Making a decision about whether or not to have an abortion is a deeply personal and difficult choice that is often fraught with emotion and uncertainty. If you are considering an abortion, it is important to have access to accurate information and support so that you can make an informed decision that is right for you. We understand that every woman’s situation is unique, and we are here to help you explore all of your options.
According to the Mayo Clinic it is important to consider the outcomes, risks, and side effects of an abortion. These may include heavy and prolonged bleeding, infection, or an incomplete abortion, which may need to be followed by a surgical abortion. Having a medical abortion is a major decision with emotional and psychological consequences. If you’re considering this procedure, make sure you understand what it entails, side effects, possible risks, complications and alternatives.

Regardless of whether you are considering abortion, adoption, or parenting, you may need a pregnancy verification and dating of your pregnancy to receive services from community agencies.
“We provide information to the patient so she can make an informed decision. We are there to provide information, education, and support in whatever she decides. We believe that every woman has the right to make her own choices about her body and her future, and we are here to support her every step of the way,” said Christine Kulle, Nurse Practitioner at RealOptions.
“The first thing you need to know is whether or not you are really pregnant,” said Kulle. RealOptions offers pregnancy testing and an ultrasound if you have a positive pregnancy test.
Additionally, in our medical clinic you can receive an official pregnancy verification and dating of your pregnancy. These are essential because your pregnancy options are determined by how far along in the pregnancy you are.
What exactly is a pregnancy verification and why do I need it?
When a licensed medical facility, like RealOptions Obria Medical Clinics, performs a pregnancy test, it issues you a pregnancy verification if the test is positive or negative, and by which method this was verified. This pregnancy verification is the official document that serves as the proof of a pregnancy test and can be used for insurance companies, employers, Medi-Cal, and community agencies that provide services like the W.I.C. program, and may be needed to obtain an abortion.
Why is the dating of my pregnancy important?
Abortion procedures differ depending on how far along the pregnancy is. It will be difficult to make any decisions about an abortion procedure or other pregnancy options until you know how far along the pregnancy is.
At RealOptions a fetal ultrasound can be done during the first trimester to confirm the viability of the pregnancy and estimate how long you’ve been pregnant.
