BIRTH CONTROL THROUGH THIS PROGRAM
What
is it?
Pills, Etc. by Mail is an easy and convenient way to have your birth
control sent directly to you when you need it. No special trip,
no lines, no waiting!
Who
is eligible?
Anyone using birth control with a current prescription
from Planned Parenthood of South Central Michigan is eligible
for Pills, Etc. by Mail. If you do not have a current prescription
from PPSCM, contact the health
center nearest you to find out about H.O.P.E. (hormones with optional
pelvic exam) — a.k.a. pills without a pelvic. H.O.P.E. allows
women to receive hormonal birth control such as the pill, Depo-Provera,
Nuva Ring and the patch without a pelvic exam. An office visit is required
to enroll in
the H.O.P.E. program. Condoms and diaphram jelly are also available through
this program.
How
will it help?
In today's busy world, Pills, Etc. by Mail will save you time. Your birth
control
will be mailed to you in plenty of time. No need
to make
a special trip to one of our health centers just to pick up birth control! No
transportation
costs! No running out!
What
does it cost?
All birth control pills by mail are full cost. The Patch, Today Sponge, condoms and diaphram jelly are all available through Pills, Etc.
by Mail. A postage fee of $3
ensures that
you receive your birth control when you need it. (Nuva Ring is NOT available through Pills, Etc. by Mail)
How
do I pay?
You can purchase your Pills, Etc. by Mail with a personal check or
a money order. You can also charge your order on your VISA, Mastercard
or Discover
card. Any outstanding balance from a past visit to Planned Parenthood
of South Central Michigan, must be paid before birth control can be sent to you
by
mail. If
you need to know what that balance is, please call 269-372-1200
in Kalamazoo, 269-964-0885 in Battle Creek or 517-629-3910 in Albion. Just include that
payment (no personal checks over $100) along with payment for your Pills,
etc. By Mail order.
Are
there any other benefits?
Confidentiality is an important benefit when you order Pills, etc. By Mail.
Your pills will be sent to you in a plain envelope without the Planned
Parenthood
return address. When you order Pills, Etc. by Mail or on line we will also
send you reminders of your next visit. |
