Pre-conception and Family Planning
Where to go:
- Students with private insurance (such as Aetna student insurance) can be seen at Faculty Practice Associates (FPA) OB/Gyn.
- Students with Medicaid cannot be seen at FPA and have to go to hospital OB/Gyn or elsewhere.
Contraceptives:
- As of August 2017, oral contraceptive pills are fully covered by insurance with no copay under the Affordable Care Act.
- As of August 2017, the Sinai employee pharmacy, which does not bill insurance for students, also provides oral contraceptive pills with no copay
Getting pregnant:
You may want to see your OB/Gyn when you are first thinking about getting pregnant (even if you are still using contraception) to discuss any concerns you have, discuss nutritions/vitamins, and/or consider genetic testing.
