How do I go about volunteering at Planned Parenthood?

If I go to Planned Parenthood and tell them I have insurance, will they make me use it?

  • I'm 19 and a college student without a job at the moment. I have an appointment to go to Planned Parenthood. I'm under my moms insurance, but I don't want to use it. I want to get birth control pills, but I don't want my mom to assume that I'm having sex. I'm not and I'm still a virgin. Unfortunately, she'll think that I am or that I'm going to. At this time, sex isn't the reason why I want to start taking birth control pills. There are other reasons to go on the pill, but she won't see it that way. I'm not even allowed to have a boyfriend(even though I'm 19) and she'd freak out if she saw me with a guy. I don't like doing things behind her back, but I can't talk to her about guys or things like this. I'm scared that if I put down my insurance info she will find out even though I don't want to use her insurance. I'm just going to pay using the money that I have saved up, if I have to. Should I still put what insurance I have and tell them that I don't want to use it because of my situation or should I say that I don't have insurance? Will I get in trouble if I say I don't have insurance? Thank you.

  • Answer:

    No. They will give you the option of paying cash. If you won't pay cash, and they file through the insurance, she'll get the explanation of benefits form, and know that you went to Planned Parenthood - but not what you saw them for. You won't get in trouble if you say you have no insurance. Yeah, most people who've been 19 once, don't buy the "other reasons to go on the pill" excuse. We were there, remember?

I dont think PP accepts insurance. They accept donations for their services.

If you dont use the insurance then you have to pay out of your pocket so that is your choice
