Okay. I'm having somewhat of a problem here. I've been taking birth control since March. I went to the hospital in my area and they gave me a prescription and a three month refill.. I'm off of my mother's insurance as of August because I'm not a full time student yet. What do I do now? Do I just go up to Planned Parent Hood and talk to them about it? I was almost in tears when my mom told me that I would no longer be on her insurance anymore.
When I go back for another prescription/re-fill, can I ask them for a six month re-fill instead of a three month? Also, can I get the six re-fills all at once or does it have to be every month? Sorry if I'm not making much sense. Any help is appreciated.

Planned parenthood is a good option if you don't have the money to pay for a doctor's appointment. They will probably give you a prescription that's refillable for six months, maybe even a year. If you get the prescription now, you might get the first three months on the insurance, but they're not going to pay for meds that you're going to take after August.
Trying to be helpful, not sarcastic -- you could also enroll in school for the fall or look for a job that would offer you insurance or at least where you could earn enough to pay for your appointment and BCPs.
Good luck.

I'm not sure how insurance goes, but if you aren't on her insurance refills will not be covered and you will end up being billed when they go to put the refill into their system. You can only do the refills and only pay the copay if you have insurance coverage.
Check out planned parenthood.
Think of it like this... Would you rather pay $40 a month for contraceptives or lots of money on prenatal visits/vitamins/maternity clothes and diapers?

well planned parenthood is a great place to go. they often base their prices off your income so you don't pay an arm and a leg. otherwise, i don't know where you live, but here in Wisconsin, there's this awesome program called the "The Family Planning Waiver Program" and if you qualify you get everything for free related to pregnancy, birth control and sexual health. it's a great program not too many people know about. maybe you want to see if your state has one and find out if you qualify for that. otherwise, as long as your prescription doesn't expire, you can still get your bcp's you just have to pay full price.

most prescriptions are limited to 3 months then you must schedule appointment with doctor so he can better monitor your response to controlled medication, if you have a planned parenthood clinic talk to them however your best option is abstaining unless b/c for regulation, hope this helps!
