Planned Parenthood Question
Posted: 02-19-07 22:07pm

i get my pills through PP and last time they gave me three and said come back and ill get three more (after blood pressure check etc.) anyway i am about to go back and get more. my friend also goes there but she started after me. when she went she said PP is doing a change and now will get their meds through an insurance plan: medicare. she said that she had to create an account with medicare and that it doesnt change anything for the patients, they still get the pills cheap or free, but that the only thing it changes is that PP can get the supplies better and cheaper. My question is, when i go back im going to have to do all this and get on the medicare because i cant afford it. but, is there anyway my parents could trace that? is there anyway that my name will be logged into a system and it will pull up when i go to the doctor like with my mom or something? just wondering... thanks!

From what I know, things like that are private, and your parents have no access to them. However, you can ask when you go; and if it is traceable, why can't you tell your parents? Being on birth control doesn't necesarily mean you re having sex, if you catch my drift.

She probably means "medicaid" not medicare.

Medicare is a government program for senoirs or disabled people.

She probably means medicaid.

It would be your info, and would remain confidential.

AS always, if you you feel like it would threaten your BC use, you can request not to be on any program.
