    Default Problems of actually going to a Gynocologist

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    Hello! I am new to these forums, and I'm seeking knowledge. I apologize if I posted in the wrong sub-forum.

    I planned on going to Planned Parenthood to get a check-up, and hopefully some contraception. I recently moved from KY to WI. And I'm having difficulty getting residency. And I fear that this issue is going to cause me more severe issues, health wise and general needs.

    *Removed outbound link*
    Payment Information

    Medicaid accepted.

    Wisconsin Medicaid Family Planning Waiver accepted.

    If you are uninsured, you may qualify for a state-funded program or a lower fee scale. Please bring the following documents:

    * birth certificate
    * pay stub
    * photo ID
    The one in the bold is what I'm having issues with. I don't have a job. I know a government aid may help me. But it may only be a state thing, and once again, I am not a resident. So I'm stuck in a vicious cycle. Plus, I have no way back home due to money issues.

    I'm so confused. What should I do?

    If you don't have a job, tell them. Obviously, they would know that if you don't have a job, you don't have a pay stub.

    We are so different in Australia, somethings are free, others you need Insurance...But in reading what you wrote above? I would be confused as well, your not a resident, worried it's therefore only a State thing, regarding being un-employed...

    So, no, you don't have to use your brain more

    My friend is from Canada and living in Portland went to the planned parenthood for a UTI paid maybe 20 bucks they really didn't seem to care just wanted to help her. I went to Canada with her last year and I ended up having one of my lovely cyst ruptures and I went to the clinic there as a USA citizen and only paid like 30 bucks for them to get me some antibiotics for my cyst rupture. So just state to state is not a huge ordeal, cause they even took her International but she did have to pay a little, planned parenthood is there to help in most all situations I've never known them to deny a woman.

    By the way they give out contraception like its candy hah.. Ive gone in and just grabbed it for free or maybe 5 bucks they will give it to homeless anyone even without a pelvic exam they will hand it out.

    I live in WI, and can tell you that the planned parenthood office won't really care if you don't have all this information. They want to help you. I had friends that lived in other states, but went to school in WI - no proof of residency, but they were helped out.

    Call the office and explain your situation (you're new to the state, having trouble getting residency, but need to get a check-up). See what they tell you. They should take you if you have some sort of ID, and will ask you for a donation if you can afford one.
