Women only please--where can I get low-cost women's health care if I've never been?

Question

I'm 22, and have never been to a gynocologist. I don't have health insurance and have little money.
I know I'm old to not have gone. I have no transportation to get there, and have responsibilities to take care of during the day.
My question is, can I see a physician in this area, even though I've never been? How can I get in? And how much will it cost?
Thank you.

Answer 1

planned parenthood sounds perfect for you- you probably will be able to get at least a discount, if not free services and they will cover all types of female health, even primary care, physicals, immunizations, prenatal care, and diabetes screenings. the one where i live has a bus stop right in front so you can probably take your local bus or some sort of public transportation to your clinic. check them out here: www.plannedparenthood.org

Answer 2

Look in the blue pages of the telephone book and call the nearest women's resource center or women's help center and ask them as they will know a free or very low fee clinic or doctor. They can also direct you to county or city services for free or very low fee transportation services. Also call your local welfare office as they might be able to help you out as well. Take Care of yourself.

Answer 3

Check with your city's health dept to see if they offer a free clinic. They may also be able to give you ideas on transportation as well. If you can't find anything that way check with a Medical School if there is one close by.

Answer 4

Planned parenthood can give low-cost health-care to women who don't have health insurance and don't earn much.

Answer 5

Planned parenthood is probably your best choice. They're everywhere, cheap or free, and if you fit in the right income bracket they'll even give you free birth control. They're around for people like you.

Answer 6

Go to a free clinic.
