What to Expect During Your Appointment

Before the Exam

What to Expect during your appointment at the Family Planning Clinic

You will be asked to fill out a medical history form. This must be done before the exam. We recommend printing out the form and completing it before you arrive. This will reduce your time spent in the clinic.

During the Exam

A complete exam includes:

  • Assessment of your heart and lungs
  • Height and weight check
  • Blood pressure
  • Urine test
  • Blood test
  • Pap smear
  • Breast exam
  • Counseling to determine what type of birth control is right for you
  • Reproductive health counseling
  • Birth control method/device
  • Referrals as needed

After the Exam

To receive your blood test and pap smear results by phone, make arrangements with your nurse before you leave.

Payment of Services

The cost of exams, including treatment and prescriptions, are based on a sliding scale. The scale is based on your annual income and the number of people in your household.

We accept cash, Visa, MasterCard, debit cards and personal checks with driver’s license and check guarantee card. Credit cards must have the exact name as the identification presented. For example, a credit card with the name Jim Smith will not be accepted if the driver’s license reads James Smith.

Important Information

  • Do not have sex or douche for 24 hours before your exam.

  • Children are not allowed in the exam room and cannot be left alone in the waiting room. If you must bring children to your appointment, also bring a responsible adult to watch them while you're in the exam room.
