Accessing birth control as a minor
At a clinic
At a clinic
As a minor in California, one can access birth control without parent permission at a Planned Parenthood or clinics like it.
One can pay with insurance, but there may be a statement in the mail that details the services accessed (like birth control).
To avoid the insurance statement, one can pay out of pocket. Some clinics, like Planned Parenthood, have programs that help cover the cost of birth control.
At a doctor's office
At a doctor's office
Make an appointment with a gynocologist (at Huntington Hospital, or a nearby office) or your general doctor.
Doctor-patient confidentiality prevents the doctor from talking to your parents about the doctor's visit, so you can have complete privacy!
Again, this visit (or the prescriptions for birth control) can show up on your parent/guardian's insurance statement, so the best course of action would be paying out of pocket.
at a convinience store
at a convinience store
Most local convinience or drug stores sell basic birth control options like condoms, dental dams, or Plan B. You can access these methods with out-of-pocket money, and can be purchased at any age (like the rest).
