MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT RATES FOR ABORTION SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE GOING UP NEXT MONTH.

GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SAYS ILLINOIS WILL REMAIN A SANCTUARY FOR WOMEN TO MAKE THEIR OWN REPRODUCTIVE CHOICES, AND THAT PROVIDERS NEED MORE SUPPORT TO HANDLE THE INFLUX OF PATIENTS.

ILLINOIS IS ONE OF ONLY 16 STATES THAT ALLOWS MEDICAID COVERAGE OF ABORTIONS. THE GOVERNOR IS ALSO ANNOUNCING AN ADDITIONAL TWO MILLION DOLLARS FOR FAMILY PLANNING SERVICES.

ILLINOIS PROVIDERS ARE ALREADY SEEING A RISE IN WOMEN FROM OTHER STATES SEEKING AN ABORTION.
