Planned Parenthood?

Hi again,

I was wondering how much does a pelvic exam cost on average at the Planned Parenthood Center? I am on my last two packs of pills, and since I lost my dad's health insurance, I will have to wait until I have the benefits of a new job or go to Planned Parenthood and get a check up in order to get another year of BC. Anyone been to those centers? And how much would it cost on average?

Thanks,

J.

Hi after_leptirica, welcome back!

Your cost will probably depend on where your income falls on the PP sliding scale of charges. You could give them a call, explain your circumstances and ask. For the clinic nearest you use their clinic finder: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/Zip.htm . Let us know what they say, ok?

Take care,

      Jill

Well i go there and even if you have income and it's not that great say for example you make 600$/month and not married or something you could easily get bcp and your exam for under 50$. They are great and the cost is not going to be that great.

Thanks alot!! :) I will give them a try, in the next month or so. Now how do you prove the income thing? I work for tips, and I could get a paper that says how much I make on average. Is that enough?

Thanks a bunch,

you just need to bring like a statement of your income ie check stub or something. If you are not sure just call and ask them.
