Limitations on Abortions. The Contractor shall perform abortions in accordance with 42 CFR §457.475. The Contractor will be reimbursed for abortion services only if (1) physical disorder, injury, or illness including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself would, as certified by a physician, place the mother in danger of death unless an abortion is performed; or (2) the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest. Abortions must be prior approved before the service is rendered to ensure compliance with the Federal Regulation. Abortions must be documented with a completed Abortion Statement Form and must meet the requirements as outlined in the Policy and Procedure Guide to satisfy state and federal regulations.
