Plan First
Planned Parenthood of East Central Michigan is now enrolling women in the new state Medicaid waiver program called Plan First! It is designed to expand subsidized family planning services to about 200,000 more women statewide. For women who do not have insurance coverage for family planning services, or do not qualify for Medicaid, this program may help pay for out-of-pocket costs related to reproductive health care.
Plan First! covers office visits for family planning related services such as lab tests and birth control supplies and devices such as condoms, the Pill, the Patch and the Ring. Plan First! provides one year of services to women at Planned Parenthood who:
- Are age 19-44 years
- Are U.S. citizens or qualified immigrants
- Are Michigan residents
- Meet monthly family income limits (up to 185% of Federal Poverty Level guidelines)
- Have a Social Security number or have applied for one
- Are not receiving Medicaid
- Are not pregnant
To see if you qualify, simply call 1-800-230 PLAN to make an appointment, and a Planned Parenthood representative will help you apply. There is NO WAITING with Plan First!; you can receive services at Planned Parenthood the same day.
