Frequently Asked Questions
- What is emergency contraception?
Emergency contraception is sometimes referred to as "morning after pill." It is a form of oral contraceptive (birth control pill) for women who have had unprotected intercourse that prevents a pregnancy by preventing ovulation. If taken within 120 hours (about 5 days) after intercourse it prevents pregnancy. It is safe, low cost and effective. - When should a woman start getting annual exams or Pap tests?
It is recommended that a woman begin getting annual gynecological exams at age 18 or when she begins having sexual intercourse, whichever comes first. The Pap test is sometimes included in the exam. It is a test for cancer cells on the cervix. - Can I get my birth control pills at the Health Department and my
exam from my regular doctor?
No. The Health Department is not a pharmacy. In order to obtain pills from the Health Department, you must be a family planning patient and receive your exam at the Health Department clinic, which is conducted by a nurse practitioner on our staff. - Will my health insurance pay for reproductive health services?
Medicaid is the only insurance that is accepted at the Health Department. You do not need insurance to receive services. All fees are based on your ability to pay.
