Since its founding in 2013, carafem has served over 100,000 clients, with a remarkable 99% satisfaction rate. The organization uses a model of care that includes the Immediate Evaluation service, where clients can securely share their medical information online with carafem’s skilled physicians. FDA-approved medications for abortion are then mailed discreetly to clients, ensuring privacy and convenience.
The medication abortion provided by carafem involves a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol pills, which can be administered at home for pregnancies up to 11 weeks. The cost of the service ranges from $0 to $249, with financial assistance available to those who qualify. Additionally, carafem clients benefit from access to Cara, a virtual assistant who guides them through the medication process and offers support throughout the abortion care experience.
“As we expand into New York state, we hope our message continues to resonate across our country. Abortion care is health care and is universally needed by people of all backgrounds and across all states,” added Grant. carafem’s mission is to ensure that every person in the US has access to personalized abortion care, regardless of their socio-economic status, location, or background.

By leveraging telehealth technologies, carafem is not only addressing the need for accessible and private abortion care but also setting a standard for patient-centered medical services in the reproductive health space.
