Make the most of your health insurance.

Insurance is confusing. Understanding how your policy works can help you get the most out of your coverage. If you have insurance, many of Planned Parenthood's services may be available with no out-of-pocket cost. With or without insurance, we're here to provide care, no matter what.

What can insurance cover?

Plans vary, but most cover a wide range of preventive care, like birth control and annual exams, without copay or deductible. You can read more about the types of services that are usually covered on the official HealthCare.gov website.

It's a good idea to contact your health insurance company directly to make sure the services you're interested in are covered. They can tell you if you'll need to pay for anything out-of-pocket.

Can I come to Planned Parenthood if I don't have insurance?

Planned Parenthood is here to provide care, no matter what. If you don't have insurance or are concerned about cost, you may qualify for low- to no-cost services.

Eligibility is based on factors like income, insurance status, and programs available at your local Planned Parenthood clinic. Our highly trained staff can help you determine if you qualify for no-cost birth control or low-to no-cost STD testing and other services.

Can Planned Parenthood help me get insurance?

Open enrollment for private insurance ended January 14, 2018. However, eligible people can sign up for Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare (MNCare) at any time. People with a qualifying life event can also sign up.

Our certified Navigators can help you find out if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period. You can read more about qualifying life events on the official HealthCare.gov website.

Do you know these insurance terms?

  • Copay: A set amount of money agreed upon by a patient and an insurnace company that the patient must pay out of pocket for medical services and prescriptions.
