About a month ago I went to the health center at my college, and I enrolled into the Family PACT Program. I received my green card that allows me to get my YAZ birth control for free. The next time I got to the pharmacy to get another pack of birth control, i’m considering on getting the Plan B (morning after pill). Does anyone know if it comes out to be free? and if there is a limit to how much i could get?

just curious……stopped my patch last month had some spotting at the start of this month…still have’nt got my period doc says if i don’t get it in a week I have to take a pregnancy test…if it comes back negative i can start my new birth control….have’nt had any preganancy signs used a condom and had my birth control on when having sex……I’m thinking it is just my body getting used to not having the hormones in it….in other words me not being on the patch any more.

What do I expect?
Do I call them to make an appointment?
What will I need?
I am on birth control now (Yaz because of my PMDD too) but I will be moving out of here in a few months because of personal problems. But once I leave, the insurance won’t cover it anymore.
How do I do this?

Its really mine, but I told her it was for my friend. And just yesterday she talked to her mom to confirm (her mom was understanding and didn’t mind covering for me). But she still went ahead and called the health center and talked to the nurse practitioner demanding information about how long I’ve been going there. I don’t want her finding out about how many times I have been there, and I’m scared the nurse practitioner might get the idea that I am giving birth control to someone else (my mom might have told them). They said they would look it up and call her back, and I’m scared. I know my information is confidential, I called the health center myself and double checked but for some reason they said they would call her back.
My question is: Would they really release information? Isnt it illegal? I’m 19 years old. Should I call the health center and tell them the situation? I’m really scared my mom would find out. Shes very conservative and strict.
Thank you everyone for reassuring and confirming this for me I really appreciate it, you don’t know how scared I was. And I understand, telling the truth would be the righteous route, but you really don’t know my mom.
So in the case that my mom did tell her that the birth control wasnt for me, is that some kind of loophole that might lead them to release my information?

Since my doctor is quite a ways away from where I go to school, can I go to my student health center and get birth control pills without talking to my doctor?

so Im an international student so the only way I have access to medical care is by the school health insurance. However, because the school is lead by a specific religion, would they be able to get me in birth control if I go to a genecologist there? My parents are not here, so I can’t take my mom with me, which is safer but I just want to know how to ask for it
