As needed, we will also check your weight and blood pressure, test for anemia, teach you how to perform breast exams on yourself, and test for pregnancy.
Pregnancy testing includes counseling and referral--a list of physicians is provided. We can issue Medicaid temporary cards to women with positive pregnancy tests who meet the financial requirements.
Please call us if you have questions about fees for medical services and contraceptives.
We accept Medicaid and we bill Medicaid for Women Wellness/Family Planning Services. Prescriptions are written for Medicaid clients and filled at the pharmacy of their choice.
We also accept clients with insurance, but we do not bill insurance at this time. Our fee is usually less than insurance co-pay.
