Family Planning

DESCRIPTION

The West Virginia Family Planning Program (WVFPP) is a state agency that has been a Title X recipient for over 50 years.  It offers a broad range of family planning services, including pregnancy prevention, pregnancy testing and counseling, assistance to achieve pregnancy, basic infertility services, STI services, and preconception health services. These services are voluntary, confidential, and provided regardless of the ability to pay.  The program aims to reduce unintended pregnancies and improve birth outcomes and overall health.  No one is denied services because of an inability to pay.

 

 

WHO IS ELIGIBLE

Women, men and adolescents of reproductive age who want to avoid pregnancy or want to become pregnant are eligible.  Family planning helps establish a plan for reproductive health to assist you in determining the number and spacing of your children

  • Work at an entry-level, temporary minimum-wage, or other low-paying 
  • Are unemployed
  • Are a student

Any person of reproductive age is eligible.  You may be eligible for free or low-cost family planning services.  No one is denied services because of an inability to pay.  There are no residency requirements to receive services.  Family Planning staff are trained to keep your information safe and protect your privacy.

Uninsured or underinsured:  Clients may be considered "underinsured" if the private insurance company and Health Maintenance Organization does not cover family planning/contraceptive medical services (written verification required).  The client is responsible for obtaining this information from the insurance company.  An "underinsured" client may be considered eligible for Family Planning Program sponsored service (Title X) and may be offered the benefit of the sliding fee scale, according to income and family size, if the income is below 250% Federal Poverty Level (FPL).

If a private insurance company or Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) provides coverage for family planning medical services, contact the health department for further eligibility guidelines.

Cllients with an income above 250% FPL are considered private-pay clients and will be responsible for the full medical visit cost.
