SAN
FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Wisp, the
leading sexual and reproductive health provider in the US, today
became the largest, most accessible medical abortion provider in
the country, offering its services in nine states: California, Connecticut, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Maine, New
Mexico, New York, and
Washington.
With an average shipping time of 1-2 business days and a
$200 price point – 30% less expensive
than the national average cost of medical abortion and no insurance
required – Wisp is offering the fastest and most affordable
services on the market. Having launched in California this summer and rolling out to
Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Maine, and New
York last month, the addition of Connecticut and New
Mexico furthers Wisp's mission to make sexual and
reproductive health more accessible.
"In the wake of the overturn of Roe v. Wade, inequities in
access to care have only deepened," said Ahmad Bani, CEO of Wisp. "By providing the most
accessible abortion services in more states than ever, we're able
to help alleviate a stressed healthcare system and allow patients
to take ownership of their reproductive health with privacy and
respect."
Wisp's medical abortion is delivered via a secure patient
dashboard under the guidance of a doctor, for all eligible patients
less than ten weeks into their pregnancy. The treatment is
non-invasive and consists of oral medication to terminate a
pregnancy. Wisp's medical and customer care teams are available
24/7 throughout treatment and recovery, included in the cost of
service. This launch expands Wisp's suite of specialized services
for sexual and reproductive health, from emergency contraception
and birth control to bacterial vaginosis and herpes.
