Planned parenthood question!?

Question

Im going to college this fall and while there is a planned parenthood clinic near the college, what do you have to qualify for in order to get free or low cost birth control? Also, if im currently on yaz birth control, will they be able to give me that same one? Thanks!!!

Answer 1

why not give them a call and ask them these questions.  I'm sure you can get the same script if you are already on it.  They may turn you down if you are covered under your parents medical insurance.

Answer 2

I'm sure they can give you a prescription for Yaz if you want, but you'll probably have to pay for for it because it is name brand. Besides planned parenthood, you should also look into your college health services. I don't know where you are going, but I went to the University of Florida, and they had a free Woman's clinic with free exams, and I also got my BC at a discounted price through them ($13 a pack). Good luck.

Answer 3

You just need to bring in your paycheck stub to qualify for reduced rates (assuming you don't make enough to need to pay full price). You can also bring in your health insurance if you are still on your parent's, since many full time students can be covered.

Weather or not Planned Parenthood carries Yaz depends on the arrangments they've made with the company. So to know if your location has it, you can call them to find out. If they don't have yaz, they may have something similar enough to suit.
