1E-2 Therapeutic and Non-therapeutic Abortions
Therapeutic Abortion A therapeutic abortion is the termination of a pregnancy where fetal heart tones are present at the time of the abortive procedure. The termination of a pregnancy may be induced medically (prostaglandin suppositories, etc.) or surgically (dilation and curettage, etc.). This includes the delivery of a non-viable (incapable of living outside the uterus) but live fetus, if labor was augmented by pitocin drip, laminaria suppository, etc.
Non-Therapeutic Abortion A non-therapeutic abortion is any termination of a pregnancy where there has been no manual or surgical interruption of that pregnancy (missed, incomplete, spontaneous, etc.).
Limits
A non-therapeutic abortion is defined as termination of a pregnancy where there has been no manual or surgical interruption of the pregnancy, such as missed, incomplete, or spontaneous abortion. Medicaid covers non-therapeutic abortions when the procedure is medically necessary and provided in accordance with federal and state laws and regulations. Specific coverage for non-therapeutic abortion applies when the termination of pregnancy occurs without any manual or surgical interruption of that pregnancy, including missed, incomplete, and spontaneous abortions.
