Planned Parenthood of Illinois (PPIL) is expanding abortion care options to include offering medication abortion through the PPDirect App. Currently, PPIL provides birth control, UTI treatment, at-home STI testing and emergency contraception through PPDirect. Adding medication abortion to the suite of services expands access, reduces wait times at health centers, avoids unnecessary travel, and provides the right care patients need wherever they are in the state. Patients using PPDirect fill out a questionnaire that is reviewed by a PPIL medical professional. PPIL mails the medication abortion pills to the qualified patients at their Illinois home address in 1-2 days. Patients can receive follow up care at a PPIL health center if needed and they can make an appointment through the PPDirect app. Medication abortion through PPDirect is $200 which includes shipping. PPIL continues to offer medication and procedural abortion, birth control, gender-affirming care, STI testing and treatment, cancer screenings, and more at health centers across the state and through telehealth.
