Q: Planned Parenthood Payment Questions

Today was my first time at pp and first time getting a pap smear, etc. It went fine and I really wish I had known about pp sooner! I sat in the waiting room and a few girls under 18 came in and they got services (bc, morning after) for basically free! Anyways, I am 19 and I am living with my parents during the summer until I go back to college. I sometimes work at a retail store making $5.50/hr, about 5-10 hours per paycheck. I haven't been working for about 1-2 months now and so I didn't have a paystub to prove to pp of my income. They charged me full price ($225) today, didn't have to pay it yet but said to bring in the paystub when I can and they will discount it if I qualify. But, they said I need to bring in my parent's income info also since I live with them. But, I do not want my parents to know I am on bc and so I don't know how I can get the income info from them for pp??? Maybe I should of told them I am in college and only living w/ them for the summer? Does this make sense and what should I do?

Thats insane! I never paid that much ever and im 21 and have been going to pp since I was 16. Bring in your paystub and explain to them that u dont want your parents to know and you dont make enough to pay that much. They are really good with that stuff, and I find that people at pp are nice! No other way to put it. They understand discreteness thats why they're there. You can also use insurance with them and the insurance company will not disclose it to your family. Atleast mine didnt and I was picking up bc every month for years.
Goodluck
