Family Planning Associates

What Family Planning Associates does

Family Planning Associates Medical Group, LTD. (FPA Chicago) is a privately held, single-site medical practice headquartered in downtown Chicago that has provided abortion and reproductive health services since 1988. FPA delivers medication abortion (mifepristone and misoprostol) up to 13 weeks and surgical abortion procedures (D&C in the first trimester; D&E procedures in the second trimester up to 24 weeks), with deep-sleep sedation administered by CRNAs. The clinic also offers birth control (pills, patch, ring, injection, IUDs), STI/STD testing, ultrasound, and gynecological exams.

Revenue is generated primarily through direct-to-consumer payments for clinical procedures, supplemented by Illinois Medicaid reimbursement for eligible Illinois residents (who receive services at no cost), private insurance billing, and a network of external abortion-funding partnerships (National Abortion Federation, Chicago Abortion Fund, multiple state-based funds) that subsidize costs for uninsured and out-of-state patients. FPA operates a self-pay and discounted-fee schedule for uninsured patients based on gestational length. The clinic does not utilize a subscription or recurring revenue model; each procedure is a discrete clinical transaction.

FPA's customer base is highly fragmented — individual patients rather than enterprise or institutional buyers — and is geographically diverse. While Illinois residents form the primary catchment, FPA runs an explicit out-of-state travel program that markets to patients in states with abortion bans or restrictive gestational limits (Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, and others), supported by travel and hotel partnerships, online appointment scheduling available 24/7, and dedicated SEO landing pages for major cities in those states. The practice functions as a destination clinic within a multi-state addressable market, leveraging Illinois's permissive regulatory environment to serve patients who cannot access care in their home states.

Revenue model

1. Abortion Services Revenue: FPA generates revenue through direct patient payments for abortion services. Illinois Medicaid fully covers abortion care for eligible patients at no cost. The clinic accepts private insurance and offers financial assistance and discounted fees for uninsured or financially hardship patients. Revenue is generated from both medication abortion (abortion pill) and surgical abortion procedures.
2. Illinois Medicaid Billing: Illinois Medicaid covers abortion care for Illinois residents. Patients with current Illinois Medicaid coverage or those eligible and willing to apply can receive free abortion services. The clinic assists patients with Medicaid applications.
3. Private Insurance and Self-Pay: FPA accepts private insurance and offers discounted fees for uninsured patients or those facing financial hardship. Many patients qualify for generous financial assistance from outside funding organizations.
4. Birth Control and Testing Services: The clinic offers birth control services (pills, patch, ring, shot, IUD) and STI/STD testing as additional revenue streams alongside abortion services.

Direct peers

• Boulder Abortion Clinic: Long-standing independent abortion clinic offering late-gestation care with sedation, drawing out-of-state patients from restrictive states. Comparable to FPA in its independent ownership, late-gestation surgical capability, and inter-state patient draw.
• Planned Parenthood Federation of America: The largest US reproductive healthcare provider with affiliated clinics across all 50 states. Direct peer to FPA in abortion and contraceptive services, though substantially larger and operating under a federated nonprofit model rather than FPA's independent for-profit medical group structure.
• Whole Woman's Health Alliance: Independent abortion provider operating multiple clinics in protective states. Closely comparable to FPA in mission, independent ownership structure, late-gestation surgical capability, and out-of-state patient services from restrictive states.
• A Woman's Choice: Multi-location independent abortion provider operating clinics across several US states. Comparable to FPA in independent for-profit structure, range of abortion services, and patient acquisition from restrictive states.
• Carafem: Reproductive health provider offering abortion care (both in-clinic and via telemedicine) and contraception. Comparable to FPA's core medication abortion service line and direct-to-consumer patient model, with a focus on destigmatized care delivery.

Others

• National Abortion Federation: Professional association of abortion providers and the largest US abortion funding clearinghouse. Not a direct competitor but a key ecosystem partner to FPA, providing patient financial assistance and clinic standards/quality frameworks.
• Chicago Abortion Fund: Practical support fund that arranges travel logistics and financial assistance for abortion patients traveling to Chicago. Ecosystem partner to FPA, not a clinical competitor, but central to FPA's out-of-state patient acquisition and access model.

Emerging players

• Hey Jane: Telehealth provider offering medication abortion via online consultation and mail-delivered mifepristone/misoprostol. Comparable to FPA's medication abortion service line, though delivered remotely and addressing the same patient demand from restrictive states through a different distribution channel.
• Aid Access: International telemedicine abortion service that ships medication abortion pills to US patients in restrictive states. Comparable to FPA on the medication abortion service side and on serving patients who cannot access in-clinic care in their home states.

Regional players

• Reproductive Health Services (Tallahassee, FL): Independent abortion provider operating in Florida, a state that itself restricts abortion to 6 weeks. Comparable to FPA in independent structure and surgical abortion services, but serves a regional market rather than FPA's multi-state draw.
