46-year-old Prabha Sivaraman has been served a summon to appear before Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court next month to face an allegation under the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act.
The South Yorkshire-based Indian was one of the two doctors filmed allegedly agreeing to arrange terminations because of the gender of the foetus in an investigation in 2012 by 'The Telegraph' newspaper.
Sivaraman, who worked for private clinics and National Health Service (NHS) hospitals in Manchester at the time of the investigation, was recorded telling a woman, "I don't ask questions. If you want a termination, you want a termination."
The document states that Sivaraman faces an allegation of "conspiracy to procure poison to be used with intent to procure abortion" contrary to section 59 of the Act.

A court in Birmingham is due to hold a hearing in January to decide whether to issue a separate summons against Dr Palaniappan Rajmohan.
Rajmohan was filmed at the Calthorpe Clinic in Edgbaston, Birmingham, agreeing to conduct the procedure even though he told the undercover reporter "It's like female infanticide, isn't it?"
An official at the Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court confirmed that the summon had been issued with a provisional date in early December.
Abortion is legal in mainland Britain under the 1967 Abortion Act which permits terminations in certain circumstances, most commonly where two doctors agree that continuing the pregnancy could more be harmful to the woman or her existing children than ending it.
Some abortion providers claim the law is "silent" on the question of gender but the prosecution is based on the argument that because it is not a ground under the Act it is therefore illegal.
