YOU MUST BE A CURRENT CLIENT AT PPSCM TO RECIEVE BIRTH CONTROL THROUGH THIS PROGRAM What is it? Who is eligible? If you do not have a current prescription from PPSCM, contact the health center nearest you to find out about H.O.P.E. (hormones with optional pelvic exam) — a.k.a. pills without a pelvic. H.O.P.E. allows women to receive hormonal birth control such as the pill, Depo-Provera, Nuva Ring and the patch without a pelvic exam. An office visit is required to enroll in the H.O.P.E. program. How will it help? What does it cost? How do I pay? Are there any other benefits?
Contraception by Mail is an easy and convenient way to have your birth control sent directly to you when you need it. You can choose to have your method (pills, patch, and condoms— latex & non-latex) sent to you through the mail every 30 or 90 days.
Anyone with a current prescription from Planned Parenthood of South Central Michigan for the birth control pill or patch is eligible to receive Contraception by Mail. (Patients must be using the pill or patch and tolerating it for at least 60 days before supplies will be mailed). When you visit any of our health centers for an annual exam or to pick up birth control, you will be given an application and asked to enroll.
In today’s busy world, Contraception by Mail, will save you time! Your birth control will be mailed to you in plenty of time. No need to make a special trip to one of our health centers just to pick up supplies. No waiting in line, no transportation costs — no running out of birth control!
The cost of Contraception by Mail, varies based on the method and quantity of birth control ordered and forms of payment. PPSCM will bill your Medicaid, Medicaid HMO, PlanFirst! and commercial insurance which may assist with the cost of your contraception. There is no charge for mailing your birth control to you through the Contraception by Mail program.
In order to receive Contraception by Mail, you must have a valid Visa, Mastercard or debit card. Any outstanding balance from a past visit to PPSCM must be paid before supplies can be sent to you. If you need to know what your balance is, please call (269) 372-1200.
Confidentiality is an important benefit when you order by mail. Your supplies will be sent to you in a plain envelope without the Planned Parenthood return address. We will also send you reminders of your next visit with your supplies.
