Why are reproductive health services important?
• They help improve women’s and men’s general health. • They help prevent, treat, and manage sexually transmitted infections, including HIV / AIDS. • They help prevent unintended pregnancies. What are the fees associated with these services? Free and low-cost services are available through the Reproductive Health Services Program with funding from Title X federal grant dollars, State general fund dollars, and client fees and donations. Client fees are determined by the client’s income and family size. This sliding fee scale allows us to provide care at a much lower cost than other health care offices. Clients whose income is at or below 100% of poverty will not be charged or billed for required services. No one will be denied services because she or he cannot pay. The fees for clients that are under 18 are based only on the income available to them. Do teens need parental consent to receive services through the Reproductive Health program? Reproductive Health Services are confidential
