Objectives:
To describe governmental insurance coverage and philanthropic fund options for abortion among undocumented immigrants.
Study Design:
Internet-based review of publicly available information from state Medicaid and philanthropic abortion fund websites regarding abortion coverage for undocumented immigrants in the United States.
Results:
Ten states have abortion coverage for undocumented immigrants. Of these, six state websites offered translations into multiple languages. We identified no immigration status requirements for state or national philanthropic funds.
Conclusions:
Most states do not provide Medicaid funding for abortion for undocumented immigrants. The limited information on state websites about this abortion coverage increases barriers for an already marginalized population.
