Family Planning Services
Title X and Medicaid Family Planning Program
WCHC is a Title X funded health center, which means we receive federal support specifically to provide family planning and reproductive health services to anyone who needs them — regardless of income, insurance status, or age.
WCHC is also able to care for patients who qualify for the Medicaid Family Planning Program (MFPP). This program offers an income-based, limited benefits plan for those who are not eligible for “full” Medicaid.
What does that mean for you?
It means that cost should never be a barrier to getting the reproductive health care you need. Services are available on a sliding fee scale based on your income, and some services may be available at no cost.
Title X and MFPP programs do not include pregnancy termination services.
Family Planning Services at WCHC Include:
-
Birth control counseling and a full range of contraceptive options
-
Pregnancy testing and counseling
-
STI (sexually transmitted infection) testing and treatment
-
Breast and cervical cancer screenings
-
Preconception health counseling for those planning a pregnancy
-
Reproductive health education and support
-
Post-partum care and support
Exámenes de detección de cáncer de cuello uterino
Nuestros proveedores también ofrecen un servicio de detección de cáncer de cuello uterino conocido como prueba de Papanicolaou. La Sociedad Estadounidense del Cáncer recomienda que las mujeres de entre 21 y 65 años se hagan una prueba de Papanicolaou cada tres años.
