FAQs

We accept Medicaid and most private insurances. Proof of insurance must be presented upon check in.

Yes! We provide services on a sliding fee scale based on your family size and income. If your income and family size place you at 100% or below the Federal Poverty Level, services are provided at no cost. For adolescents, income level is based on the adolescent’s income, not their parents’ income. To establish placement on the sliding fee scale, we’ll need to verify your household income. Suggested forms of verification include your most recent tax returns or 3 consecutive paycheck stubs.

Under Title X guidelines, teenagers (13-17 years old) do not need their parents’ permission for healthcare services, including birth control, pregnancy tests, or testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases. We encourage minors to talk with their parents or other trusted adults about their thoughts and feelings about birth control and their visit to a family planning clinic.


Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 states: “No person of the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, marital status or income, be excluded from participation, be denied the benefit of, be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

By law, (Wyoming) Title X Clinics do not perform, promote, refer for, support or fund abortion as a method of family planning. Clients requesting information on pregnancy options receive nondirective counseling on all legal options, including prenatal care, adoption and abortion.
