The Family Planning Benefit Program (FPBP) is for New Yorkers who need reproductive health care but may not be able to afford it. FPBP is intended to help individuals of childbearing age to prevent or reduce the incidence of unintentional pregnancies. For those who are eligible, FPBP pays the cost of birth control, STI testing, PAP tests, pregnancy tests and exams at PPHP. There are no co-payments, monthly payments or deductibles. FPBP covers:

• Women, men, and teens who are residents of New York State
• One year of services, and then you can renew
• Your privacy - FPBP is 100% confidential

Apply when you come to a PPHP health center for birth control. Once your application has been approved, many other services are covered, such as GYN exams (including Pap tests), all types of birth control (the pill, condoms, the patch, NuvaRing, Depo, and others), emergency contraception (the "morning after pill"), STI testing, and HIV counseling and testing.

Who Qualifies?

Currently, a single person living in Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland or Putnam county, earning about $20,800 a year or less qualifys (Income eligibility changes frequently - ask health center staff to see if you qualify). If you have children or dependents, the income limit is higher.

Teens qualify regardless of parents' income. The application process is confidential and we can help you obtain a copy of your birth certificate.
