Aetna US Healthcare Mifeprex is covered to the same extent as surgical abortions. Reimbursement for a patient's non-primary care physician uses E/M codes for office visits; the drug is reimbursed using code J3490 and is paid based on the physician's invoice cost. If the patient's primary care physician is providing Mifeprex and s/he is capitated, the office visits are under the capitation. The drug cost is reimbursed separately based on the invoice cost.

If an internist or family practice physician is providing Mifeprex but s/he is not the primary care provider for the patient, a referral will be needed.
