FAQ's

How much will my exam, birth control cost, and testing cost?

We offer low cost or no cost confidential services. Fees for birth control services and supplies based on a sliding scale according to income level. In addition, we have other programs you may qualify for to cover recommended cancer screenings.

Do I need an appointment or can I just walk in?

Due to our varying clinic hours, we recommend scheduling an appointment when possible. However, we do accept walk-ins but annual exams are by appointment only. 719-687-6416

Are your services confidential?

Yes, our services are confidential. We will not give out your personal information without a signed consent.

Do you provide emergency contraception? How does it work? When should I use it?

Yes, we provide two types of emergency contraception at our clinics, Plan B One-Step® andella®.
Plan B One-Step® contains the hormone levonorgestrel. Plan B One-Step® contains a higher dose of levonorgestrel than regular birth control pills, but works in a similar way to prevent pregnancy, mainly by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary.
Plan B One-Step® may also work by preventing fertilization of an egg or by preventing attachment (implantation) to the uterus (womb). You should use Plan B One-Step® within 72 hours (3 days) after you have had unprotected sex or experienced birth control failure.
Plan B One-Step® is available without a prescription.

ella® works by decreasing progesterone in the body which can stop or delay ovulation and may also change the lining of the uterus preventing the egg from implanting after ovulation.
ella® should be taken up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex or birth control failure. ella® is only available by prescription.

The sooner you take any emergency contraception, the better it works. Emergency contraception is a backup method of birth control you can use when:
• Your regular birth control was used incorrectly or failed
• You did not use any birth control method

What should I expect?

Our health providers will meet with you one-on-one to discuss sexual and reporductive health topics, questions and can assist you with contraceptive decision-making.

What if I can't pay for services?

No one will be turned away for their inability to pay.

Do you accept insurance?
