Planned Parenthood Prescription Help?
May. 10th, 2016 04:06 pmHi there,i'm a 22 year old cisgender female. I do not have health insurance so I can't really afford to get officially diagnosed but I strongly believe I have PCOS. (Facial hair problem is quite bad,no periods past 2014, don't have acne or other skin issues though.)
Anyways, last week I went to a Planned Parenthood,mentioned that I believed I had this condition but that I also wanted birth control for contraceptive use. I was prescribed something called Sprintec. Here's the problem:
I live 2 hours from the Planned Parenthod. I have to have it mailed it to me as a result,but I can't get a hold of a real person at the office in order to give them my payment information. I have found that other divisions of PP let you sign pay for it online,but this particular branch (South Atlantic) gives no information on such a thing. What should I do?
I paid for the first prescription up front (Free, but $4 mailing fee) while I was there and am waiting for it in the mail,but have no idea what to do for the following months. I was not given any paper work at all, I don't even know what dosage I am getting. I called a local pharmacy and asked if they could fill it if I transfered the prescription and they said yes,but it would be $30.49. I just can't afford that right now, I don't even have employment.
So I was wondering,is there any way I can get this filled online or if I can be sent a bill in the mail? I just cant get a hold of a real person at this PP and its very frustrating. Or does anyone know of a way where I can talk to a real person at the actual location? I just got sent to voice mail when I was transfered to it before.
