Will my parent or guardian know if I use Illinois All Kids to get birth control?
In Illinois, anyone ages 12 and older can get birth control and STD/STI testing and treatment on their own, without the need to involve a parent or guardian.
If you want birth control and you’d rather not involve a parent or guardian at all, you can see if you qualify for the Family Planning SPA. The Family Planning SPA provides family planning benefits such as birth control to people of all ages, and does not require the involvement of a parent or guardian for care.
Note: You DO need a parent or guardian to apply for Illinois All Kids, but once your application is accepted your care is confidential.
