Can medical insurance reimburse the cost of abortion?

Legal analysis: Abortion is not maternity, so it cannot be reimbursed as maternity insurance. If you are hospitalized, the expenses can be paid by medical insurance. After going through the admission formalities, you can register with the social security office in the hospital and settle the account in the hospital when you leave the hospital. If it is planned pregnancy, abortion due to fetal defects, you can enjoy maternity insurance benefits.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.
