There is a type of Medicaid called the Family Planning Waiver. (I know it is offered in North Carolina, so i would assume that it is available throughout the United States.) It is available to low income women and pays for one yearly pap semar/ gynecological exam as well as birth control for a year. It is available through the Department of Social Services. She should go there and apply for this benefit.
