How much do birth control pills cost at Planned Parenthood?

I know it's based on a sliding scale, but I'd still like a rough estimate. Is that thirty dollars or a hundred dollars or two hundred dollars..?How much do birth control pills cost at Planned Parenthood?
I believe that Planned Parenthood where I live will give them to you for free...they actually give you a medicaid card that is good for ONLY birth control and you use it to fill the prescription at the pharmacy, and there's usually little (like $2) or no co-pay. I've worked in a pharmacy for many years now and I see this happen a lot, also my one friend has no health insurance so she went to Planned Parenthood for birth control. But like the answer before, you most likely will have to have an exam first.How much do birth control pills cost at Planned Parenthood?
Every Planned Parnethood is different. Some have discounts on a sliding fee scale and others do not. Contact your local Planned Parenthood and ask them. Also, many universities have student health centers--is that available to you?


Birth control will not cost $100 or $200 per month!
It depends on if you have insurance or not. In very rare cases they give them to you free. I say if you have insurance go there and ask. What could it hurt?
I know it probably varies from state to state but you can get them free at the health department where I live. I do think you have to get an examination though.
